PA Supreme Court refuses to reinstate Kane's law license: [View all]

AND..... State senate will now "move forward" with removing her from office: http://www.pennlive.com/news/2016/02/senate_will_now_move_forward_w.html
A provision of the state Constitution, referred to as Senate or direct address, allows Gov. Tom Wolf to remove Kane after a two-thirds vote by the Senate.
It was last used — unsuccessfully — in 1891 against two state officials who had become mired in a bribery and embezzlement scandal involving Philadelphia's treasurer. Unlike Kane, neither man had been criminally charged and the Senate's then-Republican majority decided it lacked jurisdiction to oust them.

It is time to go, Ms. Kane!!
