Whether a Federal Court can deny an attorney admission to the bar for allegedly impugning the integrity of a judge in violation of ABA Model Rule 8.2(a)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW This petition involves the disbarment and denial admission of an attorney to the bar of a Federal Court in Chicago, Illinois for allegedly impugning the integrity of a judge in violation of American Bar Association [ABA] Model Rule of Professional Conduct 8.2(a), a provision which states: A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualification or integrity of a judge. 1. Cana Federal Court deny an attorney admission to the bar of the court, as a punishment for the alleged violation of ABA Model Rule of Professional Conduct 8.2(a), for expressing an opinion that a particular judge was required to disqualify himself based on the fact that before becoming a judge, he worked for the law firm representing a party to a proceeding before him, if the attorney erred as to the date of the judge’s employment with the firm? 2. Does 28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(2) require recusal of a judge who was a former member of a law firm and, who, after leaving the firm, maintained a co-counsel relationship with the firm at the same time that the firm represented a party in the matter in controversy? 3. Should Richardson-Merrell Inc. v. Koller, 472 U.S. 424 (1985) be overturned so that an order revoking an ii attorney’s pro hac vice (““PHV”) admission may be immediately appealable, instead of appealable as an interlocutory order at the end of the case, in light of the fact that the revocation causes immediate and substantial injury to the attorney, his client, and the public, as illustrated in the facts of this case?
