The Anchorage Daily News reports that the “Alaska Bar Association went to the state Supreme Court on Thursday seeking to suspend Sen. Ted Stevens’ law license on an interim basis, pending completion of his appeals. … Any final decision on Stevens’ license would wait until his appeals have been finished.” Unlike voting rights, which say that a felony conviction is effective only upon sentencing, bar association rules say that a conviction is set as soon as a jury rules.
It's sad that the newspaper has to educate the public about Stevens' conviction.

Uncle Ted still thinks it wasn't him but his twin brother Chuck who was found guilty. Time to put Uncle Ted away so he can rest. Now he will tell voters he still has a law license and can even vote. People will believe anything their told.
