7 Bow Out of Clinton Disbarment Case
by KELLY P. KISSEL
Associated Press Writer
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Half the members of a state panel with the
power to strip President Clinton of his law license have bowed out of
the case.
The recusals leave barely enough members to consider whether to
discipline him for lying under oath in the Paula Jones sexual harassment
case.
The 14-member Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct
meets Friday and could consider two requests that Clinton be
disciplined.
The committee did not say Thursday why any of the seven committee
members removed themselves. Four had contributed to Clinton's
presidential campaigns or to other Democratic Party candidates.
''It is heartening to know that Arkansas Committee members who have
recused themselves for apparent or perceived political reasons are
helping to maintain the integrity of this process,'' said Matthew
Glavin, president of the Southeastern Legal Foundation of Atlanta, which
filed one of the two complaints.
The committee also lost an alternate member when his term expired this
spring, leaving five lawyers and a lay person, Chairman Ken Reeves said
Thursday. Four votes are needed to impose sanctions.
The foundation and U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright referred
Clinton to the conduct committee, saying the president lied under oath
in the Jones case by denying he had a sexual relationship with former
White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Wright also cited Clinton for civil contempt last year and fined him
$90,000 for giving ''intentionally false'' testimony.
Glavin has said he wants Clinton disbarred for the lies and for
obstructing justice. Wright has not publicly suggested a penalty.
Clinton seeks something no harsher than a letter of reprimand, Glavin
said last week, citing Clinton's still-unreleased response.
