"a) Link or it didn't happen." Can't use google? Oh well... On January 29, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled that evidence relating to former White House intern Monica Lewinsky were not going to be admissible in Jones v. Clinton, the sexual harassment case against President Clinton. While Wright determined that "evidence concerning Monica Lewinsky might be relevant to the issues in this case," she decided that "it is not essential to the core issues," "would undoubtedly cause undue expense and delay," and that "some of this evidence might even be inadmissible." Her ruling was a setback for Paula Jones' team of lawyers, who would have used testimony about Lewinsky as evidence of a pattern of Clinton's behavior, but it is unlikely to significantly impact the investigation by independent counsel Kenneth Starr. Because he is simply preparing evidence to present to a grand jury, Starr's work has a broad scope and also gives him authority to look into general charges such as obstruction of justice. courttv.com Ok, I know, I know. Clearly she was afraid that the Clinton machine was going to whack her. "Not the first time you used that escape tactic:" It isn't an escape tactic. It is just that when you claim something is true, despite trained professionals saying the opposite and it doesn't matter to you. That means you are claiming your opinion trumps their expertise. And if that is the case, you need to tell them they are wrong. I am sure they would appreciate it. After all, you strongly believe it to be true. Look, Tench, even Frum has admitted that the Republicans have made a mistake by letting people with strong opinions over-ride experts. Just because you don't like reality, doesn't mean you can shut your eyes and pretend it isn't true...
