>>If the Supreme Court ruled that a sitting President could be named in a civil suit for illegalities committed before his presidency, why then, is it necessary to have sealed criminal indictments which can only be unsealed after he is out of office?

Criminal law. Starr believes, along with most others, that a sitting President cannot be indicted. They believe that the only Constitutional remedy against a criminal President is impeachment.

Be advised that is also an argument that censure is unconstitutional, which it is for many other reasons, bill of attainder, separation of powers etc...

Once he is no longer Prez, through impeachment or time, Starr can bring him to justice.
