I'm surprised that my sharp-witted fellow FReepers haven't figured out the punch line yet. He's only "resigning" to avoid disbarment.

The difference? If Clinton is disbarred, he will never again be eligible to be admitted to the Supreme Court bar. He will resign now, avoid the stain of permanent disbarment, and be READMITTED under sponsorship of a sympathetic liberal Democrat sponsor at a latter date. He will reminisce about the bad old days with a good ol' boy chuckle, perhaps ten years down the road, and DECLARE VINDICATION, as well as victory.

As an aside: Democrats (and other leftists fellow travelers) never quit. They execute tactical retreats. It's the GOP sheeple who go sleeping at their proverbial posts, allowing the retreating Democrats to advance forward to seize victory from the jaws of defeat. Never drop your guard, nor turn your back on a Democrat.

FRegards to all.

READMITTED under sponsorship of a sympathetic liberal Democrat sponsor at a latter date.

Yeah, some reputable lawyer like Huge Rotham.

Hey Slick,wattsa matter, too chicken sh!t to face the music?

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.
