Jack Thompson's Attempts to Appeal His Disbarment

All the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

It doesn't seem like we've seen the last of Jack, and according to a story by Gamespolitics, he's brought his case all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, in a bid to overturn last year's disbarment decision.

Last month, Thompson filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, essentially an appeal. To decide whether cert petitions go any further, the Supreme Court Justices vote in private conference. If four justices vote for Thompson's petition, it will move on in the process. Without four votes, the case goes no further. At that point, Thompson would seem to have exhausted his options.

According to the SCOTUS docket, Thompson can expect a decision on his cert petition by March 25th.
