flickerful, The guy did not have intercourse with her, in marital law, without intercourse the marriage is not consummated, no matter how many "fondlings" and "touching" and even commission of the sin of "spreading your seed in vain" (ejaculation or masturbation), thus, he did not have a "sexual relationship" (it was an "inappropriate relationship"), and therefore, he did not commit perjury.
Here goes $40 MM down the drain. Starr was going to find "something", and since Clinton has a permanent itch behind his zipper, Starr went after the only fault he could find. I say, the one with no sin cast the first stone, and pox on both their houses.
Frankly, I am furious, I am registered as a Republican and am full of shame how my party is letting itself being hijacked by the extreme religious right. I am even more ashame to find out that Hillary was indeed right, and a massive conspiracy is in place to achieve what we could not achieve in the poling booth and subrogate the "Will of the People". If any investigation is required is to find out who is behind this conspiracy, since they have now prepared the tools and instrument to be used in the future to subrogate our will under other circumstances.
The Founding Fathers had very good reasons for the process of impeachment and Benjamin Franklin once said (I am quoting from a quote, so someone check the veracity of this) "Impeachment is to replace assassination", only when a President is committing such high crimes that require his execution should this process be allowed to go to completion.
