Is it finally game over for Florida lawyer and violent video game opponent Jack Thompson? Judgment has been entered in the case that started last year and came to a head when Judge Dava Tunis recommended permanent disbarment for the bombastic, showboating law man.
Today is a good day in the video game world.

It's not old news. He was formally (and permantely lol) disbarred today. He has 30 days to finish his business. It began a normal disbarment (in which he could resume practice after 5 years). They moved to enhanced disbarment (10 years), and now it's permanent!
