Top 500: Vote For Your Favorite Lawyers

header_logoThe annual selection of the top 500 lawyers in America has begun at LawDragon. You can vote for your favorite colleagues, teachers, or counsel.

While I am happy to be on the ballot, I am more happy to see others not on the ballot. Notably, John Ashcroft is no longer on the list. Nor is John Yoo or most other Bush lawyers. Also missing is Alberto Gonzales this year.

What is interesting is the absence of Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Clarence Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are also off the list, even though the rest of the Court makes it on the ballot. Judiciary Chairman John Conyers and other members of Congress are also not on the list.

  1. Anonymously Yours, I was just wondering if you have taken your buspar and Kolopin today, if not, do so immediately………

    Always remember AY, “it is better to have people think you are an idiot, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt”

    I think the doubt is removed. Keep talking.

    Wesley was a member of the church of England, broke away and started a new heretical church, that conformed to “HIS” value system, they call themselves methodists. They are one of those 18,0000 plus flavors of protestantism, I mentioned earlier.

    Lets be correct beings you want to be corrected: Anglican Church at the time. NOT THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. Got it.

    By the way, I have never heard of a reform school being touted as a parochial school. Were you given a number in your parochial school?
    **************************

    You I presume have never been to Catholic School have you? So I guess you would not know the way the system works. But then again this was in the 70 so, they did relax the standards. Maybe you could have even made it through. I will say that the same texts we used in 9th grade we used in public school my senior year. It was such a pleasure to have torn an English book up in front of the teacher and watch her spaze out. Finally they realized that it was a text that I owned, ok, parents purchased it. It was as funny, then as it is now.

    I do have a bar card. Do you? I chose not to practice so I can write these obnoxious responses to you and annoy Patty C. This is my purpose in life. Brother can you spare a dime?

  5. AY,

    I’m thinking confused is becoming more and more a steady state for her. Let her guess.

  6. Buddha,

    Since we both posted at the same time I guess, she can’t figure out which one of us is which. So did you post at 4:02 or did I? Who was first. Lol

  7. Buddha,

    You are so much more eloquent than I. Oh, I almost forgot KISS< KISS, SMACK. You do like it rough don't you. LOL

  8. Hey, so has everyone voted for JT as their favorite lawyer? I think he’s just dreamy. Not to mention a gracious host who deserves our thanks and congratulations on his fame…

    If this goes on any longer I’m going to run out of ways to try and change the conversation.

    Next up is my “Look, it’s group of college students wearing chef’s hats,” tactic.

    The Catholic Church is like a “roaring lion”, once you let it out of its’ cage it can very ably defend itself…..

    I bet you think that the Knights of Columbus were formed as a support group for Columbus, don’t you?

  10. Patty,

    This is a much nicer place without your constant bitching is what I’ve noticed. How about you taking that big spoon of condescension you keep trying to dish out around here and putting it some place that requires surgical removal. Yes, even Wayne’s insane Papist babble beats listening to you hate on me, Jill and AY. Once again, if this is such a waste of your time, you know where the door is although you have a demonstrated inability to find it. Some would call that “obsessive”. Which would again show you as the serial aggressor you are.

    I have no problem pointing out your hostile drunk M.O., Princess. You know, the one where you can’t keep from telling everyone how much you hate what such and such has done to “your” blog. I’m going to call you on it every time you mention my name.

    Why?

    Because I can. And I told you every time you mentioned my name I was going to turn it against you. Welcome to my relentless side.

    But if you’re trying to smear me by association with a true troll like Wayne? Good luck on that, Cowgirl. Especially since you’re the one who has most certainly morphed into a troll yourself, Ms. Irrational Hater and Self-Appointed Turley Blog Nazi. You gonna tell me I can’t have any soup now too? Awww.

    Or you could do everyone who reads here a favor and take your superiority complex out into that Big Bad Boston Society you are soooooo hooked into and play there instead. See how well they like your manners. I’m betting you go over like a turd in the punchbowl after you get a couple of snoots of Dewar’s down your gullet. It’s understandable why you by your own admission spend much of your time on the internet and in your garden. Humans don’t appreciate capricious hostility.

    So once again, if this blog no longer meets your highball standards, you can find an exit.

    Have a nice day.

    What a COLOSSAL waste of time and blog space this blawg has become!

    We rarely had this nonsense until a year and half ago!

    If ‘Wayne’(BIL a/k/a AY) is not the original wannabee debate site troller(s) Bartlebee/Cromagnum Man/Waynebro, then he’s a clone….

    Yes, despite what you previously believed, it was only a matter of time…

    Bitch stay out of it. Your comments are unwanted and as I have stated to you keep your *&*^*^&^ to your *(&*(*^ self when it comes to me. This is a warning. We do have a full moon coming out tomorrow are you howling yet? Has the nurse threatened to wrap that white coat a little tighter? Take some haldol, that should help you.

    Keep my name out and you will not have to worry about me commenting on anything you say. You are a waste of human fecal matter as you are aware. Was that you or your brother than has the Latrine Fetish? Sick people you are.

    Sorry, I had to hack on you a little AY, I don’t approve of people comparing me to Hitler, would you?
    *************************

    If you are the Hierarchy of the RCC then I am comparing you to Hitler.

    If you weren’t so stupid you would learn to read alternatives to what you are taught by the RCC. They have a nasty mean evil spirited history. Albeit, it is the person in control that makes those decisions. Do you make the empirical deceptions for the RCC? If no, then do not worry about it. If you do. Get a grip and learn from your mistakes.

    Do you think that we’d still have Inca’s the Mayan’s or the Aztecan empires if it were not for the RCC?

  13. Whenever Mr. Appleton talks about the Catholic Church, he invariably mentions liberation theology, the Berrigans(?) and Dorothy Day. He then encourages one to read Hillaire Belloc Chesterton and Newman. I would have thought you would be championing the writings of George Tyrell, Hans Kung and Karl Rahner. Karl Rahner is someone well worth reading. He stated in one of his early works,”that if a sincere Catholic analyzes his conscience, he would find himself at the sacrament of confession about twice a month”. I wonder why Mr. Appleton never mentions St.Kolbe, St.Pio or even Mother Teresa. I just find it utterly bizarre and even incongruent how he links Cardinal Newmans writings in the same sentence as the Berrigans?

  17. I am surprised you would mention Calvin, he used to encourage his followers to gouge out the eyes of neophytes, if thet even so much as glanced at a person with ‘desire’. He was a charmer, half of his followers were one handed because if they masturbated, they had to cut off the offending limb. You should have joined his band of merry followers.

  18. Wesley was a member of the church of England, broke away and started a new heretical church, that conformed to “HIS” value system, they call themselves methodists. They are one of those 18,0000 plus flavors of protestantism, I mentioned earlier.
