Ruling Delays Clinton Disbarment Maybe he can join Gore's legal team; he'll fit right in. nytimes.com By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 8:23 p.m. ET LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- A judge has pushed back a deadline in President Clinton's disbarment case, meaning the case won't be heard until the end of the year and likely not until Clinton is out of office. The complaint to strip Clinton of his law license, filed by the state Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct, is based on Clinton's testimony about his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Pulaski County Circuit Judge Leon Johnson, in an order released Monday, gave lawyers for both sides an additional month to respond to requests for admissions submitted Nov. 9, setting the new deadline at Jan. 11. Clinton leaves office Jan. 20. The lawyers in the case could not be reached late Monday and did not immediately return messages left at their offices and homes seeking comment. Both sides had requested the delay. The Supreme Court committee petitioned the circuit court to revoke Clinton's license to practice law in his home state, contending he was unfit to practice law because he gave misleading testimony under oath about his relationship with Lewinsky. Clinton has said disbarment would be too harsh of a punishment. The committee has pressed for a hearing before the end of the year. A spokeswoman for Johnson, a temporary judge serving only until the end of the year, has said he would not expedite the matter on a docket that is filled through June 2001.
