Your analysis is faulty.

Paula Jones brought a lawsuit. She is entitled to do so under the US Constitution and applicable law. You may not agree with the basis of the suit but it did survive motions for summary dispositon under applicable law. The questions Clinton was asked were specifically authorized under a staute he signed into law. The questions were not irrelevant but directly related to proving that the actions Jones complained of were part of a past and continuing pattern of behavior.......

Bottom line is Clinton exercised every legal option to avoid answering these questions and he failed. It was his legal obligation under our system of laws and jurisprudence to answer fully and truthfully having exercised all those options. He deliberately failed to do so and this failure is made more egregious by his oath of office and the fact that he was an officer of the Court.

I bet Bill really wishes he never signed the law that allows for such questions in sexual harassment cases.
