>>>is it not probable that frivolous cases will start to be filed.... They have been since the Warren Court 35 or so years ago...remember Miranda, allowing confessions to be thrown out of court!

Use the Jones case as an example...if a standing president can be forced to testify in such cases...is it not probable that frivolous cases will start to be filed ... A frivolous case would be thrown out of court.

"if a standing president can be forced to testify in such cases...is it not probable that frivolous cases will start to be filed...." Maybe a sexual harrasment case is frivolous to you, but I guarantee it isn't to the person filing it. Our laws guarantee it isn't either. The Pandora's box would be who determines what is and what isn't frivolous and who can and cannot be forced to testify. The law determines the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor. You may not like or agree with it, but it is the law, applicable to all per our constitution. The premise is, no one is above the law, not in this country. As it stands, Clinton with all his power and money has the best legal advantages offered to him. Far more than the average individual. Yes, very shaky. sf
