OT, OT: I highly recommend Barbara Olson's book, Hell To Pay, to any of you who think the Clintons are scum. The book is factual, very well researched, and damning. Barbara Olson, who was aboard one of the jets that crashed on September 11, was the wife of the present Solicitor General, who in turn is NextWave's former attorney. You can be sure that Hillary did not shed any tears for Ms. Olson. The book recently appeared in paperback form at Barnes & Noble. I bought it on Friday, and stayed up most of the night reading it to conclusion. Clinton supporters might wish to read this book, too. The mountain of evidence indicating that Hillary is unfit to be a public servant is as high as Mt. Everest. Anyone who doesn't think that Hillary wants to be President is out of his mind.

Didn't take Slick long to respond, even though the disbarment is for all practical purposes a done deal: Former President Bill Clinton WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton will contest Monday's Supreme Court order that suspends him from practicing law before the high court, his attorney said. In issuing its order, the Supreme Court gave Clinton 40 days to argue why he should not be permanently disbarred there. "This suspension is simply a consequence of the voluntary settlement entered into last January with the Arkansas Bar. Pursuant to the Supreme Court's order, we will show cause why disbarment is not appropriate," attorney David E. Kendall said. As is its custom, the Supreme Court offered no explanation for the order. Court observers say such suspensions nearly always lead to permanent disbarments. In January, Clinton reached an agreement with Independent Counsel Robert Ray that suspended his Arkansas law license for five years and ordered the former president to pay $25,000 in fines to that state's bar officials. Clinton also gave up any claim of repayment of his legal fees in the matter. In return, Ray ended the 7-year-old Whitewater probe that shadowed most of his two terms in the White House. The Arkansas Supreme Court's Committee on Professional Conduct initially called for Clinton's disbarment last year, saying he lied about his affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clinton was asked about Lewinsky during a January 1998 deposition in a sexual harassment suit brought by Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee. His attempt to conceal the affair while under oath led to his 1998 impeachment and 1999 acquittal by the Senate. The decision on Clinton came as the Supreme Court opened its 2001-2002 session. CLINTON SUSPENSION An Arkansas Supreme Court committee initially called for disbarment, noting Clinton lied about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. As part of his agreement to end the U.S. independent counsel's investigation, Clinton agreed to a five-year suspension of his Arkansas law license and a $25,000 fine. Courts routinely notify other bars -- including the Supreme Court -- of suspensions and disbarments. When a Supreme Court Bar member is disbarred or suspended elsewhere, it suspends the member and allows 40 days to argue against disbarment. When Clinton has been an Arkansas member in good standing for three years after his five-year suspension, Clinton can reapply to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. Membership is mainly symbolic. Most lawyers never get to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court. With U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson looking on, Chief Justice William Rehnquist opened the court term by recognizing "the terrible loss" caused by the September 11 terrorist attacks and expressed condolences to Olson over his wife's death. Barbara Olson was a passenger on the hijacked jet that crashed into the Pentagon. "Before we hear the first argument, let us take a moment to recognize the terrible loss caused by the terrorist attacks on America that occurred on September 11," Rehnquist said. "I know our hearts go out to the families of those killed and injured. We extend our condolences to the Solicitor General of the United States Theodore Olson for the loss of his wife Barbara. "In the aftermath of the attacks we have witnessed extraordinary bravery and compassion from Americans from all walks of life. Let us take a moment to grieve with those who mourn, and honor those who have heroically performed their duty," Rehnquist said. Olson sat in the front bench, flanked by former solicitors general Kenneth Starr and Seth Waxman. Olson, as solicitor general, leads the Justice Department attorneys who argue cases on behalf of the U.S. government. In the two cases argued Monday, assistants to Olson are defending the government's position. Olson is scheduled to argue the government's case for the first time in a case next week.
