Ted, <The point about the Pharisees is not to judge someone until all the facts are in....its all to easy to condemn an enemy without knowing the facts.>

Not exactly. The Pharisees weren't guilty of judging others without knowing all of the facts. Actually, the Pharisees were the experts on the law and living their lives according to the letter of that law. If they accused you of breaking the law, they were probably right.

However, the Pharisees also used their legalism as a foundation of their power and influence. Sure they condemned people who broke the law, but their motive was not to guide the people they condemned back to righteous living, but to build themselves up at the cost of others.

That's how the Pharisee thing applies to the war between Clinton and his enemies. Clinton's opponents are right to call him on his unethical actions. But their desire is not necessarily to see justice, but to destroy Clinton. His actions certainly stink to high heaven, but unless there was a law clearly broken, they should just issue a strong censure and move on.
