6. He was disbarred from practicing before the Supreme Court
His Arkansas law license was also suspended for five years. I'm not certain if President Clinton ever appealed these decisions. I believe the SCOTUS decision took place in October of 2001 and the Arkansas decision in April 2001, but don't quote me on that. :-)

Here's an older article from ABCNews.com regarding his bogus SCOTUS disbarring:

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/scotus011001.html

Excerpt:

The Supreme Court today suspended Clinton from practicing law before the high court and gave him 40 days to say why he should not be permanently disbarred.

The order likely means Clinton could not argue a case before the high court should he ever return to private law practice. Most lawyers who are admitted to the Supreme Court bar never actually argue a case there, but the right to do so is considered an honor.

The court did not explain its reasons, but Supreme Court disbarment often follows disbarment in lower courts. The court acted after it was notified by the Arkansas Supreme Court that Clinton's Arkansas law license was suspended for five years and he paid a $25,000 fine. The Arkansas suspension took effect in April.
