mr. bill showing how smart he is. Clinton to Contest High Court Disbarment. In a surprise move that could rekindle interest in the Paula Jones case, a lawyer for disgraced ex-president Bill Clinton said Monday afternoon that his client would contest the Supreme Court's decision to disbar him, which the court had announced the only hours before. "This suspension is simply a consequence of the voluntary settlement entered into last January with the Arkansas Bar," said Clinton scandal lawyer David Kendall. "Pursuant to the Supreme Court's order, we will show cause why disbarment is not appropriate." Monday's ruling prohibits the ex-president from arguing cases before the High Court for the rest of his life, but does not forbid him from practicing law before lower courts as soon as his law license suspension by the Arkansas Bar expires in 2006. Most legal experts expected Clinton to accept his Supreme Court disbarmant without challenge, since he had no known plans to practice law before the High Court anyway. The ruling allows 40 days for him to contest. The decision to fight the ruling has a definite downside for the ex-president -- as well as for New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, to whom he remains married -- since it threatens to revive interest in both the legal and personal aspects the Paula Jones case. It was Clinton's false testimony in Jones' sexual harrassment suit, and a subsequent finding by a federal judge that he was in contempt of court, which led to his disbarment in the first place. Ms. Jones sued Clinton in 1994, claiming he attempted to compel her to perform a sex act in the workplace. The case led to the discovery of Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and the emergence of at least two other women who claimed he had sexually assaulted them. Clinton has denied the accusation of one-time White House volunteer Kathleen Willey, who said he attacked her in the Oval Office pantry. Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick told impeachment investigators that Clinton had raped her in 1978 during a nursing home industry conference. Several other women told investigators working for Paula Jones that Clinton had sexually assaulted them, but none have gone public with their claims. With Clinton's presidency an ever more distant memory, the accounts of these women have largely vanished from the media radar screen. But with the Jones case now the subject of yet further legal action, their stories may become newly relevant. Sen. Clinton, for instance, may no longer be able to avoid commenting on charges that her husband sexually assaulted several women. Ex-president Clinton's decision to fight his Supreme Court disbarment was first reported by CNN. siliconinvestor.com tom watson tosiwmee
