By the by, it was a Federal Appeals Court that ruled the Clinton perjury may have materially affected the outcome of the Jones case. Kathryn Crier of Fox News threw this fact in the face of a Democratic Congressman Sunday when he stated "the Jones case is irrelevant since it was dismissed!" To her further query as to whether future perjuries in sexual harassment cases should go unpunished, he replied that there "WAS" a remedy for the Jones case- "Clinton paid 850grand he didn't have to pay." I feel this last is laughable.

History will recognize that had Clinton's perjury gone undiscovered he would have achieved an obvious desired result- NO PAYMENT TO JONES! So if the case against Clinton is Sexual McCarthyism, then what do you call Clinton's perjury proffered against the Jones case- a righteous act of self-defense? Should perjury and witness tampering by defendants in sexual Harassment cases go unpunished in the future? Do you really want to defend actions such as this when committed by a President or anyone? Ok, fine! Enjoy your liberal enlightenment- I just think the train of liberalism left you sitting at the station somewhere back there... .

The man went to elaborate lengths in an attempt to squash the Jones case. :-) Clintons ultimate removal would be a great victory for the anti-sexual harassment cause.

Piggy men(and being a pig may not be impeachable in and of itself) may think twice before acting on their instincts in the future. But if we allow Clinton's Perjury to slide...should men not fear being caught perjuring themselves in such cases?

The Lewinsky testimony could scarcely be more pertinent to an attempt to corroborate the Jones testimony relating his actions in her presence- thus bolstering greatly the notion that she testified knowledgeably and truthfully of his particular proclivities/actions. Hence and fittingly polls show most people now believe the Jones testimony. This also may make his denial of remembering her as implausible as his denial of inhaling marijuana and then some! The public change of heart concerning the Jones testimony must be a major factor in CNN poll results indicating over Half of the people don't care if he is impeached- whether they want him to be or not.
