Lying to your wife about extramarital sex is one thing. Lying under oath by a boss/defendant about a sexual relationship with an employee in a sexual harassment case and telling your paramour to lie is fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. Yes, Clinton was impeached, but not convicted. Later he was disbarred. Nixon was not impeached, he resigned. He was never disbarred. Those who do not remember history are doomed to have it explained to them until either they remember or try looking it up. CB@ruleoflaw.com

>>"Clinton was impeached", what kind of crap is that?<< Might be a good idea to check the definition before pontificating about legal terminology to an experienced lawyer... Impeachment (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) en.wikipedia.org Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body formally levels charges against a high official of government. Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; it comprises only a formal statement of charges, akin to an indictment in criminal law, and thus is only the first step towards possible removal. Once an individual is impeached, he or she must then face the possibility of conviction via legislative vote, which then entails the removal of the individual from office.
