>>All year the political right awaited the moment when everyone would agree that Ken Starr's investigation was the institutional expression of a national consensus, namely that the President's relationship with Lewinsky was not simply wrong but criminal.

Nice spin on that one.

It's odd, but I don't see Republicans making that claim. What I see are Democrats accusing Republicans of making that claim. Republicans are mostly making the claim that the President's testimony in the Paula Jones case was criminal. The fact that that testimony was about Lewinsky is irrelevant.

I believe that the Dems recognize that on the legal issue of perjury they don't have a leg to stand on, and that's why they have to put the argument in moral terms. They can't legitimately argue legal relativism, but they're old hands at moral relativism.
