he US supreme court yesterday issued an order disbarring former president Bill Clinton from practising law before the high court. The ruling is seen as marking the official end of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The ruling struck a jarring note in the current mood of national unity. Mr Clinton has been praised for the supportive role he has been playing and the way he has thrown his political weight behind President George Bush.
The court did not explain its reasons for the disbarment, although such a decision usually follows disbarment in a lower court. In April, Mr Clinton's Arkansas law licence was suspended for five years and he was given a $25,000 fine.
He had agreed to that disbarment as a form of plea bargain in January, on the day before he left office, after reaching a deal to bring an end to the Lewinsky investigation, in which he could have faced charges for contempt.

I look forward to Trump reminding the people of this national embarrassment.
If lawyers were disbarred for having affairs there’d be damn few lawyers...
The Leftists are desperately clinging to that, aren't they?
Potential FIRST SPOUSES need to be vetted and scrutinized. Because of Hillary Clinton the secret meetings surrounding “HillaryCare,’ the Supreme Court ruled FIRST SPOUSES are legally considered to be assistants to the President. They have no legal oversight.
FIRST SPOUSES have their own agendas and legacies to uphold.
BTTT
Happy bump.
Even given his status as a liar and serial sex criminal, at least he probably didn't kill as many people in Kosovo as Hillary killed in Libya, Egypt and Syria. Good old "Bombs Away" Billy Jeff. The scum journalists are going to try to paint him as a cute, avuncular defender of women and the oppressed.
He need only mention that "Lewinsky" has entered the language as a noun.
...and a verb.
