Tempus fugit.

[msnimje]

Does he have to do something to renew his license?

[theDentist]

This means he can legally screw clients again?

[Semper Paratus]

Don't bet on finding him in the Public Defenders program.

[EagleUSA]

Here is a treasonous reprobate that should be in prison, and he gets his law license back ??? At the level of crime this guy operates at, a law license does not mean anything anyway....

[AbeKrieger]

Will the defendant please rise ?

[colorcountry]

OMG....Hide your daughters!

[TCats]

Well then, I'll look forward to seeing him arguing his client's cases before the Courts - Naaa - That would be too much work. He can make more money peddling his 'Speeches' and influence on behalf of his real clients.

[HAL9000]

Does he have to do something to renew his license?

I think so. Maybe we should send a character reference.

[hattend]

Clinton was really hurt by this suspension, wasn't he?

He has made more money speaking for the terrorists than he would ever mmake arguing a case in court.

The suspension wasn't even a slap on the wrist.

[coconutt2000]

If Clinton had been a conservative Republican, this would be front page news in all the rags.

[Puppage]

Maybe he can get a job working for Teddy Kennedy's law firm:

WINE HER, DINE HER, DICKER & DUNKER

[Froufrou]

"Maybe we should send a character reference."

I'm in! "Dear New York Dept. Of Licensing and Paroles,

This guy is a character..."

[Thebaddog]

I have to hire an attorney for a closing next month. What are his rates?

[Sacajaweau]

Probably has to pay the current registration fee. Here in New York, we now have mandatory continuing education attached to the renewal of our licenses. In the South, I heard all you have to know is the definition of "Is".

[Tzimisce]

When the French are paying him millions to make speeches...
yeah I see him going back into law...

[peyton randolph]

Make fun of the South all you want. Sen. Clinton represents you now.

[DejaJude]

Does Saddam need another lawyer?

[yobid]

She's from Park Ridge Il.

[peyton randolph]

I know she's from Illinois. However, a New Yorker making fun of Southerners with respect to the Clintons takes some chutzpah. Only California or a Northeastern state would have been dumb enough to elect a Clinton to the Senate...they'd never get elected dog catcher in the South these days.

[yobid]

Hey, I never said she was worth the salt in my sweat.

[blau993]

The rules vary from state to state, and I don't know what Arkansas requires. Typically a disbarred or suspended lawyer has to petition to restore his license. Some states also require proof of good character (there's a real knee-slapper) and proof that the lawyer has kept current in his field of law.

It wouldn't surprise me if Clinton cut a deal with the bar, such that it would lift the suspension but Clinton would then voluntarily retire his license or at least go on "inactive" status. He has never really practiced law anyhow, so this would cost him nothing, and if it spares him from publicly having to jump through some hoops to have his license reinstated, so much the better from his standpoint.

[kcvl]

Clinton is still as IMPEACHED as ever and can never be heard before the Supreme Court. Having an Arkansas law license is about as significant as the rest of the crooks in the state having one. lol! The only time he ever comes to Arkansas is to promote his LIEbrary (trailer on stilts)(a couple of nights in his so-called suite with how many women?) or to raise campaign cash from idiots with more money than brains obviously.

[Uncle George]

Crooked weinie Clinton was convicted of a FELONY and paid the fine. He is now and always will be a convicted FELON. Do Felons get law liscenses and get to vote???????

[scory]

I'm curious - did bj ever actually practice law? In fact, has he ever had a real job in the private sector?

[funkywbr]

Does he even care?

Hell why get all sweaty at a trial when you can be Prince Dianna the international jetsetter with women throwing themselves at your feet and guys paying to hear your every word.

Practice law my arse!~}

[HAL9000]

Crooked weinie Clinton was convicted of a FELONY and paid the fine.

Unfortunately, he was only charged with civil contempt. He was immune from criminal prosecution while in office.

NY Times headline on the fifth anniversary? waiting...waiting...waiting...

[Bonaparte]

"Do Felons get law liscenses and get to vote???????"

They're not supposed to but they do. An article was posted here today about a convicted narcotics peddler in Denver who served no time, got admitted to law school, got admitted to the bar and just got a presidential pardon.

The Arkansas bar had to be dragged kicking and screaming just to give Clinton a slap on the wrist -- lawsuits, letter-writing campaigns, loads of adverse publicity. I know. I was a part of it.

And I still haven't heard whether he ever paid the chump change fine. If he hasn't yet done that, he will probably have to do it when he re-applies for his license.

[bert]

He taught law....

[Bonaparte]

It's only by technicality that we can't call Clinton a convicted felon. He perjured himself knowingly and repeatedly under oath in front of a federal judge.

However, we can truthfully call him the impeached, disgraced, (temporarily) disbarred, adulterous, sexual predator presibent." That's at least something.

[Bonaparte]

If they report it at all, it will either be buried in the middle of a related article about him or briefly alluded to on page E37. In either case, the NYT will imply that the lifting of his suspension is the same as exoneration.

[Nihil Obstat]

depends on what your definition of "job" is.

[Mogollon]

Well Slick is now another felon with a law license. We had a convicted murderer (out on parole) get a law degree from ASU in Tempe a few years ago.

Like the old saying goes 99% of practicing lawyers give the honest 1% of lawyers a bad name.

[H. Paul Pressler IV]

At a million dollars a speech I doubt Billy will be chasing ambulances.

[al baby]

Thanks for his address I just sent him a pizza with anchovies

[al baby]

[operation clinton cleanup]

Did he ever really practice law?

>> Only California or a Northeastern state would have been dumb enough to elect a Clinton to the Senate...they'd never get elected dog catcher in the South these days. <<

Since when did "conservative" Arkansas stop electing leftist RATS? About 3/4ths of the elected officials in AR are hardcore partisan RATs and I highly more than a handful of them are pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun "conservative" RATS. Liberals can't be elected "dog catcher" in Arkansas? Gee, I guess BOTH their Senators and ALL their statewide officials (minus the Governorship -- which the GOP only won thanks to Slick's suceessor going to prison) didn't get this memo:

ARKANSAS - U.S. SENATORS:
Blanche Lincoln (D)
Mark Pryor (D)

ARKANSAS SECRETARY OF STATE:
Charlie Daniels (D)

ARKANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL:
Mike Beebe (D)

ARKANSAS STATE AUDITOR:
Jim Wood (D)

ARKANSAS STATE TREASURER:
Gus Wingfield (D)

ARKANSAS STATE LAND COMMISSIONER (yes, it's an elected office):
Mark Wilcox (D)

ARKANSAS SENATE PRESIDENT:
Jim Argue (D)

ARKANSAS SENATE MAJORITY LEADER:
Percy Malone (D)

ARNKASAS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE:
Bill H. Stovall III (D)

ARKANSAS HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER:
Jay Bradford (D)

What's more, the Arkansas House of Reps is made up of 72 Democrats and ONLY 28 Republicans!! The Arkansas Senate is made up of 27 RATs and ONLY 8 Republicans! (these guy can hold their caucus meetings in the broom closet) 3 out of 4 Congressmen in Arkansas are RATS! I hate to break the news to you, but even Hillary's adopted state of NY is overwhemingly Dem but doesn't come close to being THAT lopsided.

Furthermore, the state of Arkansas elected Slick Willie no less that SIX times to the Governorship. They elected him President by OVERWHEMING margins TWICE! Look at how George Bush fared in the state back in 1992:
CLINTON COUNTIES
BUSH COUNTIES

Arkansas is full of openly liberal Dems. None of their RAT Congressman are Zell Miller type Dems, and only one is a "moderate". During the RAT filibuster of judges, for instance, the Republicans protested and ultra liberal Blanche Lincoln complained the judicial hearings were taking away valueable time the Senate could spend on enacting more social welfare programs. They can't be elected dogcatcher? lol! Visit Arnkasas sometime. I think you'll discover the socialist Dems have a damn near monopoly on that "conservative" state.

[peyton randolph]

Since when did "conservative" Arkansas stop electing leftist RATS?

I wrote that the Clintons would "never get elected dog catcher in the South these days."

The Dim Rat machine in Arkansas put them in office...but both Dims and GOP in that state generally detest Clintons. The Clintons have worn out their welcome in Arkansas...heck, the presidential library has to go begging for visitors.
