Actually, Clinton's license to practice law was suspended for five years for lying about having sex with Paula Jones.
A majority of the panelists who met Friday to consider two complaints against the president found that he should be disciplined, the Supreme Court said.
"This action is being taken against (the president) as a result of the formal complaints ... and the findings by a majority of the committee that certain of the attorney's conduct, as demonstrated in the complaint, constituted serious misconduct," the committee said in the document released by the state Supreme Court.

Wright cited Clinton for civil contempt last year and fined him $90,000 for giving "intentionally false" testimony.

Clinton disbarred from Supreme Court
The Supreme Court said today that a lawyer who was disciplined in his home state of Arkansas cannot practice law before the High Court. The action was totally unremarkable, except that the lawyer in question is former President Bill Clinton.
The justices’ action followed Clinton’s acceptance earlier this year of a five-year suspension of his law license in Arkansas and his payment of a $25,000 fine to the Arkansas Bar Association [stemming from a sexual-harassment suit filed in 1994 by Paula Corbin Jones].
I think that you mean "Monica Lewinsky", not "Paula Jones".
Interesting. I had lost sight of any limitation on the loss of license. Has Clinton made any attempt to regain it? Or has the five years not quite elapsed? It should make interesting reading to find out what further questions an investigation of Clinton's fitness to practice law might bring up. Perhaps Juanita Brodderick might be asked for a statement.
