The hearing is to determine whether or not he will be allowed to practice.<br /><br />2) This article is about Erik Bornmann. It doesn't make any sense to assume that people limiting commentary to his behaviour are OK with drunk driving or anything else.<br /><br />3) I know plenty of people in the media who would love to get their teeth into this story. It's not the reporters or the editors, it's the publishers.<br /><br />4) and if Erik Bornmann is allowed to practice law, I think it's only fair that Gordon Campbell should be asked to serve as our next Lt.
