Mr. Eisenberg had his licensed suspended for the third time, but recently got it back on a 4-3 vote from the suprem court, which stated "We share the dissent's concern about Attorney Eisenberg's disciplinary history, as did the reinstatement referee. The number of prior disciplinary proceedings in which Attorney Eisenberg has been involved, as well as the serious and unsavory nature of some of the specific counts of misconduct that he was found to have committed, do not paint a pretty picture." Serious and unsavory is not "being an aggressive advocate". Sorry, its hust not.

Yeah, that's aggressive. A suspended law license is a lost law license (but lets not quibble about that).

Attorney Eisenberg’s “conduct was of such aggravated nature as to cause Judge Krueger great mental suffering and anguish, which culminated in his death by his own hand on August 28, 1968.” Yeah, that’s aggressive.

His license was reinstated in late January. Throughout, he has remained active with the original board of Citizens for Responsible Government, not to be confused with the Orville Seymour, et al, who operate under the name Citizens for Responsible Government Network. Eisenberg and Victor Huyke, publisher of El Conquistador, are active in the Milwaukee branch of CRG. It is an important distinction to make.

If McGee were as big a crybaby as Todd, perhaps he could get a restraining order against Eisenberg.
