Court suspends Pennsylvania attorney general's law license
Quote:HARRISBURG, Pa. —
Pennsylvania's highest court on Monday ordered the temporary suspension of state Attorney General Kathleen Kane's law license, a step that could trigger efforts to remove her from office as she fights criminal charges.
The unanimous order by the state Supreme Court's five justices also could prompt a legal challenge from the first-term Democrat. In the meantime, it leaves the state's top law enforcement official in charge of a 750-employee office and a $93 million budget but without the ability to act as a lawyer.
The state constitution requires the attorney general to be a licensed lawyer, but the court said in the order that its action should not be construed as removing her from office, raising questions about her ability to do the full range of duties associated with the office.
In a statement, Kane said she was disappointed in the court's action, but grateful that it recognized her rights as an elected official.
Then, Kane took a shot at a pornographic email scandal uncovered by her office that involved numerous current and former officials there and claimed the job last year of a state Supreme Court justice.
Kane said she would continue the work of her office, including rooting out "the culture of misogyny and racially/religiously offensive behavior that has permeated law enforcement and members of the judiciary in this Commonwealth for years."
The office's spokesman said Kane will continue performing all duties not prohibited by the court's order, including setting priorities and making administrative decisions.
The first deputy attorney general, Bruce Beemer, a career prosecutor, will likely assume duties she can no longer perform, the spokesman said.
The order comes barely a month after Montgomery County authorities arrested Kane on charges she leaked secret investigative information to a newspaper reporter and then lied about it under oath. She was charged with perjury, obstruction and other counts.
Kane has maintained she did nothing wrong. Gov. Tom Wolf, a fellow Democrat, called on Kane to resign after she was charged Aug. 6...
