The following reproduced letter was faxed to Mr. William K. Suter, Clerk, Supreme Court of the United States, 1 First St. NE, Washington, D.C. 20543, on January 4, 2003:
Dear Mr. Suter,
I wish to respectfully notify the Court that Mr. William Janklow was disbarred by the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court on October 31, 1974 for, among other things, the alleged rape of Miss Jancita Eagle Deer on January 13, 1967 [1]. On the Congressional Quarterly website, it states that Mr. Janklow is a Member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States and was admitted in 1970:

Rule 8.1 of the Supreme Court of the United States specifies:
"Whenever a member of the Bar of this Court has been disbarred or suspended from practice in any court of record, or has engaged in conduct unbecoming a member of the Bar of this Court, the Court will enter an order suspending that member from practice before this Court and affording the member an opportunity to show cause, within 40 days, why a disbarment order should not be entered. Upon response, or if no response is timely filed, the Court will enter an appropriate order."
Accordingly, Mr. William Janklow should be suspended from practicing before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Judge Mario Gonzalez's disbarment order and his finding of probable cause that Mr. William Janklow had committed assault with intent to commit rape and carnal knowledge of a female under sixteen years, related affidavits, and letters I have written to Attorney General John Ashcroft, Senator Edward Kennedy, and former Vice-President Walter Mondale regarding evidence of those allegations are available at
