Minnesota high court yanks judicial candidate Michelle MacDonald's law license [View all]

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Supreme Court on Wednesday indefinitely suspended the law license of frequent justice candidate Michelle MacDonald, affirming a referee's finding that she violated the state's rules of professional conduct by falsely impugning the integrity of a judge.

The high court also said MacDonald cannot petition for reinstatement for four months, calling it an appropriate penalty for repeating her misconduct by knowingly making false statements about the integrity of the same judge while still on probation in an earlier disciplinary case.

MacDonald, a conservative family law specialist from West St. Paul, has run for a seat on the high court four times. She got 41% of the vote against Thissen and 44% against Chutich.
