<<But, on the other hand...... If the Jones case was just an attack by Clinton's enemies, and if it didn't really happen, a Clinton survival would be a victory for those that have been accused of crimes, but were innocent.>> So let the trial in the Senate begin! The Jones case carried strong witness corroboration as witnessed by the fact that it went foward originally. Her version of events is bolstered by Lewinsky experiences, the eventual payoff to Jones, and the recent ruling declaring in essence that Clintons perjury may have had a material effect on her case. <<His chances of getting caught with his zipper down again is almost nil. So, why go on a destructive path towards impeachment?>> Because I don't believe it's destructive. I don't want to catch him "again". His 60 minutes testimony long ago claimed he was through causing "pain" in his marriage. Essentially, he promised the public in that interview that we'd not have to worry about something like this happening....and with an unpaid 21 year old intern! ...and doing things that make it seem highly likely that the Jones testimony is accurate! Geez! I'm confident we'd all be fine were he removed by the Senate. And giving the Presidency to Al Gore is called a Republican Congressional Take-over Of The Executive Branch! Poppycock!

The Jones case should have been thrown out from the beginning. <<<To me, it was a very weak case that was used against President Clinton by his enemies.>>> Translation : "Paula Jones should not have been allowed to file it in the first place." <<<President Clinton did not mislead, in the Jones deposition, to deny Jones her right to a fair trial, he misled to avoid embarrassment from his tryst with a White House intern, and because he felt that the Jones suit was basically a trumped up charge in an attack against his presidency.>>> Yawn....yeah....and Photographing Fairies is a true story Robert! <<Clinton can be charged with these crimes after he leaves office.>> Translation : "As long as you hold office and are a Democrat you should be above the law" <<<Just as I don't feel adultery should be punishable by the death penalty,>>> Well that's the difference between you and I. I think it would be rather cool. <<<I don't feel impeachment is a proper punishment for Clinton's alleged offenses.>>> Christ...knock off the pretentions. You don't think he should be forced to face reprisals for anything! <<Thanks, I sure will. You should try liberalism once in a while instead of uncompassionate McCarthyism.>>> Well Robert, one thing is for sure. You are proof positive that McCarthy was right! <<<Elaborate lengths??? I don't think so. But, if he did, it's more of a reason to not allow sitting Presidents to be harrassed by civil suits while in office.>>> Uhhh...yoo-hoo...oh Voltaire....yoo-hoo....several pleas to the Supreme Court is not an elaborate length? Oh by the way, 9 Justices of the Supreme Court agree....you're a nitwit. <<<It takes too much valuable time from his schedule.>>> Screw his schedule. If you don't like it then go to England! <<<Oh, you probably forgot, but, even the lowest of the low is innocent until proven guilty.>>> Yeah...I get the strong feeling you've been in court before! <<<Once again...... He can be prosecuted "after" he leaves office. Is it worth the significant damage to our country to go ahead with the impeachment? NO! Of course not.>>>> ONCE AGAIN...liberals thinking that the world is going to stop spinning if a Democrat is rightfully bounced out on his ear. <<<He has shown himself to be a very able and competent leader.>>> Yeah...right...sorry I give the credit to Alan Greenspan and I really could care less about vacationing in Haiti. <<<His chances of getting caught with his zipper down again is almost nil.>>>> Robert Barry : "Note to self...continue looking for Goldilocks and the Three Bears in the non-fiction section of the book store." <<<So, why go on a destructive path towards impeachment?>>> Show of hands....how many people think life is going to be destroyed if the Dope from Hope is removed from office? EARTH TO ROBERT BARRY... I would suggest you start building your bomb shelter now because Bill Clinton only has two years left of his term and then what are you going to do???
