Mr. Mencken, even as Beaumarchais before him, found this ludicrous, but, like Beaumarchais, he did not neglect to point the implicit moral, i.e., that justice was a rare bird for the declassed minority...

...denied this allegation, used it as a point of departure for a broad and far-reaching decision. He declared that the power of disbarment exists in the judicial branch of the Government, independent of any constitutional or statutory grant. Said he: "It is not always easy to determine what objects are naturally within the range or orbit of a particular department of government, but it will scarcely be denied that a primary object essentially within the orbit of the judicial department is that courts properly function in the administration of justice . . . and in the light of judicial history they cannot...
