So you think the female judge who ruled on the case was so smitten by Clinton that she ruled against Paula Jones? Is that really what you are claiming? I hadn't given this any thought, but she was a student of his at the University of Arkansas law school. And Clinton eventually settled the case for $800,000, so any dismissal was only a waypoint in the evolution of the case. Is it really so important for you to be defending and making apologies for the Clintons ten years later? Only because the Republicans on this thread keep bringing up his 'crime' ad nauseum like its still important to you all. Apparently, being her professor did not sway Ms Wright's judgements and did not prevent Bush from appointing her to some position.......from the link you posted: "So what does all this history suggest? Wright's friends insist that the Bush appointee will make her decisions strictly on the merits. "The notion that some special relationship between her and the President will affect her actions strikes me as entirely misplaced," says the dean of the University of Arkansas School of Law, Leonard Strickman. In fact, she has ruled both for and against Clinton on important matters. Her decision to jail Susan McDougal for not answering Whitewater questions was a public relations disaster for the White House. But Wright also ruled that Jones' case had to wait until the end of Clinton's presidency, a decision reversed by the high court last week.
