His actions were correct.
JCD:"I think that Clinton standing up to the political challenge of the Paula Jones legal system as a political weapon crowd demonstrated a lot of character."
BOB Lse-tao:"If he really had any character he would have told the truth up front and then challenged the "Paula Jones legal system as a political weapon crowd" to do anything about it. If he had told the truth up front, it really would have been "just about sex." If he had told the truth up front he would have been the clear winner in all this and he would never have been impeached. But he didn't tell the truth. One can only assume that this is because he has no character."

His actions were correct:
1st, reading the supreme court decision that allowed this mockery of a case, we see they fully expected a short courttime. This was the most effective way to avoid compounding their errors, and prolonging and appealing the "short" case.
2nd. The affair made no difference to the case because such sex is excluded from the powers of the Constitution to even be gazed upon or considered. You've heard of pleading the 5th? Why does no one plead the 9th and 10th? Why? because to the Constituion they do not exist. To testify would be making things up--things that aren't there [to the consstitution and the federal courts] To volunteer this information, out of the cold, would be to extend the power of the Constitution--that is an odd suggestion for a power we all have as individuals under the law!
3rd. He has done all but call in an air strike to keep Presidential sex from disturbing the minds of the American Public. Bold adversarial admissions do not serve this prudent and decent purpose.
4th. Bill was elected by voters who typically do not press a showdown. Any other method is tried first. The peacemakers. Bill's responses were completely in character, and of character, in avoiding destructive situations with no real prospect for good. A Man high in Character, sublime in wisdom, keen in learning, and discriminatory in his cigars. Lets vote Lady Clinton in next.
