Note that Clinton asked to resign. He will be disbarred. The effect of Clinton asking to resign means nothing. In any event, you do not respond to a court action with a mere letter to the clerk of the court.

Clinton is doing nothing but playing a PR game so he can say he can say he resigned and not have to say he was disbarred. It's all about spin. He is disbarred and chose not to fight it. It is a simple as that.

Clinton found out he was not up against a group of spineless Senators that gave his a pass on impeachment. Beady eyed Daschle and Kay Bailey Hutchison ended up making the impeachment a farce. They are just a guilty as the Clinton's because they closed their eyes to the law breakers.

During Clinton's impeachment proceedings, one local talk-show host had shirts printed up with this slogan:

At least
  Nixon
Resigned!

Maybe there is some small touch of justice in this universe?

Most people here will agree with your assessment.

However, I was speaking of the opinion of history generally.

Even Al Gore comes out bad when compared with Nixon. Nixon wouldn't challenge his close election.

In five years (actually a little over 4) he will once again apply to the Arkansas bar or he will apply to the NY bar.

Some time after that, he will reapply to the SCOTUS bar, hoping that by then people will have forgotten or at least not care.

A sweet ending to the week.

Slick has to endure another humiliation.

I feel so sorry for him.

(sarcasm off)

He was prolly afraid that after that glowing, read, illuminating, speech he gave at Georgetown, if he tried to fight it, the Court might reconstitute hanging for raw treason.

We should worry about Slick. How will he get by now? Live on kindness from strangers in cities where vagrancy laws are not enforced?
