On second thought, I agree, Tbird. You're so right.

FINISH HIM. /mortal combat
Seriously, talking about an adoption and one involving a public person at that. Does he know how wrong that is?! It would be bad and a HUGE ethical breach if the people mentioned were no names but the effects of mentioning someone who already deals with paparazzi and reporters dissecting their lives causes even more serious consequences when something that's supposed to be under seal is violated.
If you reveal details of Jane Smith from Lower Iowa adoption proceedings people won't know for sure who it is (still very, very wrong) and they'll forget about it but if you go talking about the very private and legally SEALED details of a celeb or public figure everyone will know who it is, the press will go wild, and the story never goes away. Celeb X can't escape the story - can't wait for people who think they have it figured out to lose interest they way Jane Smith can.

His "active practice of law" may not be too active in the near future if this is true ...

including one in which he revealed alleged details of confidential proceedings involving actress Charlize Theron's adoption of her son.
That will get him, a) sued, and b) disbarred.
Not necessarily in that order.

It's disgusting he was electable in the first place.
That poor of an effort to cover his tracks coupled with the terrible grammar. Shame Arkansas! Shame!

He deserves it too. Judges and lawyers with any sense typically save their stories for one another just like doctors, nurses, police, EMTs, professors, and so on often do and even then names and identifying details are often omitted to protect the individual or individuals (and while in some fields you're not supposed to even talk broadly it's understood that this happens and is ok because talking within the field to others in the profession maintains 'radio silence'). And the reason they only talk shop with one another is because they all know it's privileged info they can't reveal and won't reveal to the public.
You don't go to a message board and talk shop when you're in a field where you have an ethical or legal obligation to protect privacy.
Even a school teacher would get into serious trouble for talking about something as trivial as little Tommy Smith pulling Susie's hair and landing in detention or even little Joey Jones being so hyperactive he's a handful because it's understood that this is not to spoken of publicly.

I saw that he dropped out of the race to focus on his family and healing and forgiveness. He owned up to everything and apologized.

that is pretty standard if you ever want to try and revive your career.

This is the bigger issue to me. fricking idiot.
I have no problem with him being allowed to have, and semi-anonymously voice, his own opinions. He's human -- that's natural.

Well at least it wasn't hookers and blow, just message board post about women and Arkansas

Not even close.
They guy was an idiot for publicly stating his opinions. Right or wrong, he should have kept it close to the vest. We live in a country with "approved" speech.
Anyone with their feelings hurt over what he said has more serious problems, but he wasn't the brightest bulb considering his career and future endeavors.

He is correct about the parents who give their kids stupid names. 99% of the time they are indeed guaranteed a life time slot at the bottom of the barrel. Nothing wrong with that assertation.

From his statement...
He obviously doesn't care about other people's privacy, so why the frick should others care about his?

I agree with him there. It's damn near a form of child abuse. Don't name your kid after some off ramp motel chain. Everyone thinks this privately...but...not wise to do in his position.
