I've always felt, even with every other scandal that's surrounded the Sociopath-in Chief, that this is the real test of whether or not we still live in a Republic under Rule of Law.

Why?

The people who will decide Clintoon's fate were appointed by him or other Dems in Arkansas. The justices have all sworn an oath to the Dem Party.

On the other side of the coin, the law is crystal clear in this one. No immunity or privelege or any legal BS that Slick Willy usually uses to divert attention. This is the legal system policing its own. ANY and EVERY lawyer found in contempt would be disbarred, every time, in every state, especially in front of a Grand Jury.

If Clinton gets away with this one, we are no longer living under Rule of Law. We live under Rule of Men as a point of fact. No questions about it.

He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty - and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies." -- H.L. Mencken, February 12, 1923, Baltimore Evening Sun

Jim, you should've gotten a second pop-up window with a scan of the letter announcing the start of the disbarment proceedings.

Hey! I don't want to be a wet blanket, but doesn't an attorney have to be practicing law at the time of their alleged offense. What's the straight scoop on that angle?

James,
No, you do not have to be practicing at the time of the offense. If you are a licensed attorney when it happens, that's good enough to get you disbarred, if the offense warrants a punishment that severe. Perjury is one of those things. Is someone disbarred for it very often, no. But in this case due to the circumstances surrounding it, yes he should be. Plus he should be exiled to Hell along with his demonseed of a wife and his sidekick Al "rot in jail gun owners" Gore. Sorry, about that boy that got ugly quick didn't it?

Roger that, mjsarge: Great news...Wooopeee, get the tar and feathers. Hard to believe the sleezey one is going down in flames.

I'm not being negative, here, I'm just positive that they won't disbar the King.

That's what Clinton's defenders are arguing, that he wasn't practicing law when he lied to the court. I suppose that is an attempt at mitigation, but not really a defense. Lawyers are routinely disbarred for lying to banks, for drug offenses and so on - for actions not involved in the practice of law.

Almost any felony, almost any offense that involves "moral turptitude" is enough. I swear I am not making this up, but I read a case once disbarring a lawyer who had impregnated his client, who was a retarded female dwarf. The court decided that was moral turptitude.

James E · June 23, 2000, 03:43 PM

Only a sleezy lawyer would stoop so low as to take advantage of a dwarf. Some are indeed bottom feeders.
