Jack Thompson (activist)
He is also known for his unusual filings to The Florida Bar, including challenging the constitutionality of The Florida Bar itself in 1993. Later the Florida Supreme Court described his filings as "repetitive, frivolous and insulting to the integrity of the court". On March 20, 2008, the Florida Supreme Court imposed sanctions on Thompson, requiring that any of his future filings in the court be signed by a member of The Florida Bar other than himself. In July 2008, Thompson was permanently disbarred by the Supreme Court of Florida for inappropriate conduct, including making false statements to tribunals and disparaging and humiliating litigants.
Jay B. Stephens
In 1988, Stephens was nominated and confirmed as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. He served in that position through the end of the George H.W. Bush administration, overseeing the beginning of the prosecution of Representative Dan Rostenkowski. On March 24, 1993, President Bill Clinton's new Attorney General, Janet Reno, demanded the resignation of all United States Attorneys, a routine step when a new administration takes power; Stephens suggested Reno was attempting to impede the investigation of Rostenkowski, a Democrat, but the prosecution continued under his successors and Rostenkowski pled guilty in 1994. After resigning, Stephens became a partner in the D.C. office of Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro. From 1997 to 2001, he was a Corporate Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for Honeywell.
