Clinton Eligible, Once Again, To Practice Law

After five years of banishment from the legal profession, President Clinton will be eligible this week to reclaim the law license he gave up as a consequence of the inaccurate responses he gave under oath to questions about his relationship with a White House intern.

Mr. Clinton's suspension from the Arkansas bar, which he formally agreed to a day before leaving office in 2001, expires on Thursday. It is unclear whether the former president will seek reinstatement to the bar, but officials in Arkansas have been preparing for such a request.

"There are people who have had this date marked on their calendar," the executive director of the Arkansas Supreme Court's Committee on Professional Conduct, Stark Ligon, told The New York Sun. He said court rules prevent him from confirming or denying whether Mr. Clinton has filed an application to be reinstated until the committee takes some action in the case.

However, Mr. Ligon said such applications are routinely approved. "The presumption fairly would be that reinstatement should be granted unless some good cause could be shown why it should not," he said. Mr. Ligon said any request from Mr. Clinton would be sent by fax or mail to a seven-member committee panel, which usually acts promptly. "We can generally get a turnaround within a week to 10 days," the bar official said.

Too crooked for the bar, a remarkable achievement.

LOL...the MSM can be so funny! "Inaccurate responses"?! Does "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" ring a bell? That was a lie...not just "inaccurate". And yet if large stockpiles of WMD's aren't found in Iraq it's "Bush lied"?

My question is simply, does the Left realize how hypocritical they are? It is clear they don't care, but I'm not sure they realize it or not.

"as a consequence of committing perjury" would have been more succinct.

I wonder which firm will sign him on as a partner? At first glance, one is tempted to think of him as an outstanding rainmaker.

I've been reading Bernard Goldberg's book, Arrogance, and I read his previous book, Bias, and it's absolutely clear they don't realize it because they live in a bubble of their own making. As Goldberg points out, an actual conspiracy would be easier to change.

Hitlery's very first law case was to get a man off who molested a young relative of his.

She wrote about it in her book.

Well, if the Swimmer can hammer the Bush admin for washboarding and there's no outcry, then why not?

That would make sense. I know not every Left leaning person seeks to do evil...and yet that is the result of the vast majority of their goals. If it's just ignorance mired in arrogance it would make sense why they don't see their hypocrisies.
