A lawyer makes their money by defending a position and formulating arguments. Are you going to ask the judge to ban opposing counsel from the courtroom? This is to some degree the court of public opinion. If your in favor of something you should be utilizing this to positively promote your agenda. Not whining that someone hurt your itty bitty feelings. ...

If you want to use the analogy, analogy so be it. In legal system there is what's called "motion to quash" an indictment (or even subpoena/summons). But there's a catch, it's more reasonable for the prosecution to file the motion to quash than the defense. Say, in the instant example, Explora were the plaintiff, Beverly were the defendant, while Sam were the Judge. Explora could petition Sam to stop the proceedings as no fair judgment could be arrived at given the initial evaluation of evidence and facts of the case. But the accusation of wrongdoing is still there. Being so, the accused should desist from committing the same offense further, incarcerated if need be. And once everything is well, then the trial would proceed. Looking at it this way, it makes sense to me.

I'm not versed in law nor immigration law but over the recent year or so this has to be the most professional, educated post that I have ever viewed on this board.

Hey Sam, I see you are logged in..where have you been? We were worried Michael had come to see you

And is the Discussion Board cleaner now than then? Yes, I think so, somehow - mission accomplished!
