I'd be more concerned about why our president would be put in a spot where he has to talk about his sex life. Hey dumbo, Clinton signed into existence the law that made those questions relevant.....and then he tried to exempt himself from the requirements of the law he saw as good enough for the rest of us.....no man is above the law in this country.....even the Prez.

Suspension Nixed for Lawyer in Sex Case By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 11:37 p.m. ET SEATTLE (AP) -- The state Supreme Court has rejected a proposed one-year suspension for an attorney caught having sexual relations with her client, a triple-murder defendant, in a jailhouse conference room last year. The court reached its decision in Theresa Ann Olson's case on Thursday and notified the Washington State Bar Association on Friday. Chief Justice Gerry Alexander gave no reason for the rejection in his one-page statement, and he declined to comment further in an interview with The Associated Press, saying the issue could come before the court again. ``We knew everybody would wonder about that, but we really can't go beyond what the order says,'' Alexander said. Bar association spokeswoman Judy Berrett said the association did not know why the suspension was rejected. In August 2002, a jail sergeant reported seeing Olson, 43, having sex with Sebastian Burns, 26. Olson, who was married at the time, has acknowledged having sexual contact but not intercourse. In May, Olson and the bar association agreed that she should be suspended for one year, followed by a year of probation. The deal needed Supreme Court approval. Olson's lawyer, David Allen, was out of the office Friday and could not be reached for comment. The bar association will try to reach a new agreement with Olson or send the case to a review committee, Berrett said. Olson has been practicing civil law for the past year. Burns and Atif Rafay are charged in the beating deaths of Rafay's father, mother and sister in 1994. Burns had been Olson's sole client for nearly three years. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
