"Paula Jone's case should have had to wait until Clinton left office. This is the same level of protection that army officers have, for goodness sake -- the suit must wait until their tour ends."

While I agree that it was a bad idea for the trial to go forward, it did bring to everyone's attention that he was a pathological liar. Not that I was happy to find that out about our president.

However, soldiers are afforded their protection by an act of Congress known as the "Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Release Act" Congress has not provided this protection for the President.

The people of the United States have a right to know if their President is a crook.

Should the legal actions against Nixon have waited until he was out of office?
What's the difference?

Nope. Clinton was President, not King. Although it was obvious he disagreed, he was not above the law just like any other citizen....

You're full of beans. They'd can a military officer in a heartbeat. They're removed from any command position. Unlike civilian society, it's guilty until proven innocent for any white male. Minorities and women are a different story. For slick willy to even attempt to claim he had some kind of military exemption was beyond belief, seeing how he loathed the military.knc
