"The Attorney General's Office can file civil lawsuits against individuals and companies engaged in the unauthorized practice of law.<br>

Some of these cases involve people who are not licensed attorneys but who provide legal advice for a fee and/or attempt to represent clients in court.

While every side dislikes some decisions of the Court, we have operated under this view of the role of the Courts since Marbury and such legislation as she plans would be a huge and dangerous change in our political traditions.

      <![CDATA["If you favor activist judges just remember that activist conservative justices could take the Contitution all the way back to its original meaning and wouldn't liberals be in a snit then?"<br>
<br>
Considering "conservatives" disagree amongst themselves on the the original meaning of the Constitution, not likely to happen. And "tossing out state laws" is perfectly Constitutional, if said state laws are in violation of the Constitution.

*SB 2348 by *Beavers<br>
Courts, Jurisdiction - As introduced, provides that the supreme court, circuit, criminal and chancery courts have no jurisdiction to determine the constitutionality of a statute properly enacted by the general assembly. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 5 and Title 16.<br>
<br>
Isn't TNGA Senator Mae Beavers violating state law (attempting to practice law without a license within the State of Tennessee) with the mere filing of her SB2348 legislation?

      <![CDATA[I think this basically makes Mae Beavers ineligible for office. Cripes, if you don't know the basics of how our state government works, you shouldn't be collecting a paycheck from taxpayers.<br>

      <![CDATA[I propose that a law be enacted that women should not have the right to run for public office in TN. Of course, if passed, no court can declare it unconstitutional, per Mae Beavers.
