Jim,

A couple of distinctions to be drawn, however: Jones was not an employee of the Governor. She was a volunteer greeter at a meeting so she was not even in the "workplace." Taking her facts as true, he came onto her in his hotel room in a very crude manner, and she rebuffed him. Later she continued to receive raises, promotions etc., and she never heard about the incident again from anyone. She quit her job voluntarily. Is that sexual harassment or not?

As for Lewinsky, one ruling of the Jones judge is indicative of her view of what materiality the Lewinsky claim was--Judge Webber Wright ruled that further discovery on the ML matter was barred as not relevant under the discovery rules. That means according the ruling the ML's matter was not "reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible material." This is a far lower threshhold than the "materiality" standard, which I think is something along the lines of "can affect the outcome of the case." So Judge WW didn't even think it reached the lower threshhold. I don't think from a legal perspective that this was material. However, there's no accounting for politics, so who knows by what process Congress will deal with these legal issues and how they will rule on them.

Doughboy.
