I'll listen to the news better, I had just walked by the radio and heard that the items had been stolen. I was in Nam, so I am not too happy with the flag and picture, but I guess that is what I went there for, so someone can do just that! It is truly a two edge sword. Why he is doing it is beyond me, I would think he would know his business would go down the tubes. The great part of this country is then he can go on food stamps and welfare. Go figure!

Here's the latest hand grenade. Lob one yourself via fax to them or to the media if you like! Jack John B. Thompson, Attorney 1172 South Dixie Highway, Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146-2750 Phone & Fax: 305-666-4366 E-Mail: Jackpeace@aol.com March 8, 1999 Chief Justice W.H.

Specifically, the Committee refuses to proceed with scores of grievances filed against Bill Clinton, the bases for which are variously perjury, subornation of perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and now rape. More than sixty percent of the people who viewed Juanita Broaddrick on NBC's Dateline believe that she was raped by Arkansas-licensed attorney Bill Clinton, but your Committee won't even allow grievances based upon the rape to get to the probable cause phase. I am one of the legion of bar grievants, which includes the much-respected Southeastern Legal Foundation. Our grievances have been reported by the Associated Press, ABC News, and other national media, and in talk radio interviews I am discussing the abject refusal of your Committee to process the grievances. Other grievants are contacting me to tell of similar stonewalling. As a lawyer who has represented sexually-abused women, I should like to ask: What is going on here? I respectfully urge each of you or all of you to inquire of the Committee if Bill Clinton, by virtue of being Arkansas's favorite son, is somehow untoucable by the Arkansas Code of Professional Responsibility. If he is, then this sends a rather powerful and distressing signal to all Arkansas attorneys. For how in the world can the Arkansas Supreme Court, in fairness, discipline any other Arkansas attorney for sexual harassment or for perjury, for example, if it won't even process a single one of the more than one hundred grievances filed against Bill Clinton? Richard Nixon was disbarred in 1976 by the State of New York. That was just. I should like to encourage you, since you as the Supreme Court supervise the entire disciplinary process, to remind your Committee that "Equal Justice Under Law" means what it say. This standard should apply even to Bill Clinton. I have asked to speak to the Arkansas Bar Association about this stonewalling at its Annual Meeting in Hot Springs in June. Please resolve this miscarriage of justice before then. Best, John B. Thompson
