Too flip, for me. Les, I am assuming Clinton had exhausted all legal possibilities of Preventing the testimony ordered from appearing in court.
Notice Clinton's objection, I am assuming, is to the appropriation of the information by the court, and assumed later dissemination, not what effect the information has on the case/verdict.

The court didn't 'get it'. What does a man in court do? If I don't get what you are saying, we part. Same with most situations. But that is not feasible, I guess, as law is currently set up. If he submits, the damage is done, and can't be undone nor recompensed. Notice issues here that could have more obvious impact under a death penalty case.

I am less interested in whether Clinton was right to object, but rather in what a person's to do when he is in court and the court misses his point. If this law is so unimportant to get right, why don't we give it to Clinton? Or base law on a coin flip or water test? Or at least delineate which laws are too bogus to defend?
