Basically, the sex secandal is a private matter and should be resolved privately between the president and his wife. So, congress should not investigate this case at the first place, and that is protected by the constution, and no exception to the president, his right of privacy is also protected by the constution. Can you imagine the police will investigate you just because you have a girl friend ? Can you imagine the CEO of a company will be fired just because he had a girl friend ? I guess you believe that since sex is a private matter than Paula Jones had no right to due process in her civil suit. I don't remember there ever being a right to refuse to testify because it was a "personal question." That's something that Clinton tried to invent. Can you imagine being prosecuted for committing perjury in testimony about a sexual matter? (The House had a hearing where they heard testimony from several who were.) Can you imagine the CEO of a company being fired because it was learned he committed perjury in a lawsuit against him or his company for sexual harassment? (NOW would scream for it.) Can you imagine being impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice? (Dozens of judges have been.) What about spousal abuse or spousal rape? Is that a "personal matter?" If the man and woman "resolve it privately" should charges be filed anyway? What if they're not married but only live-ins or friends? What if they don't know each other but they "resolve" it with cash? Don't give us the "it's only sex" BS. Maybe we've came to to the point where we need vindictive investigations by both side into the other so that both parties will be afraid to nominate or support the sort of scumbags we've had at all levels of government in recent history. Maybe then it would be in their best interest to promote those who's lives could actually stand up to the scrutiny.
