I think these names along with a mug shot should be on the front page of the newspapers.

SHAME ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!

You're both right, Betty and Sue.

We need more of this public embarrassment. Maybe it would get lawyers to straighten up and fly right!

The thing to remember, though, is a lawyer can be disbarred, but still come back. Being disbarred doesn't mean permanent disbarrment.
