I don't know, my take was always STOP THE INSANITY! Who ruled that the Jones case may have been materially affected? Starr? It's not his place to rule. As for the settlement, similar terms were offered before all this stuff came up. Lawsuits get settled all the time, with no admission of fault. The legal bills in the Jones suit dwarf the size of the settlement, on both sides.
One article I read said that Clinton settled because they were afraid, from the oral argument, that they would lose their appeal. Your assertion that no negotiations would have taken place until the appeal was decided is just that, an assertion, and an uninformed one from what I know about the case.
As to the last sentence, that's for American Women to decide for themselves. I would guess, offhand, that you have political views that are an affront to many American women. I know for a fact that the moral reformation wing of the Republican party, that's in the lead on the impeachment effort, has such views, particularly on abortion. |
