But what are you talking about? How far back up the chain am I supposed to go on this one? Are you again bleating about the sanctity of Truth and Justice, as determined by our civil tort system? You faith is touching. Poor Paula Jones, all she got out of this was a few hundred K, some good plastic surgery, and way more than the normal 15 minutes of fame. Plus all the high-level political friends of your persuasion a woman could ever ask for. No doubt a substantial book deal down the line, too. I'm sure your sympathies extend equally to all women everywhere, though, regardless of their politics. Like Anita Hill, her reputation sure got trashed, and then your friends on the political front hounded her out of her faculty job too.

So DO you believe Dipy's statement is correct. DID "misdemeanor" have a definition meaning less than high crimes at the time the Constitution was written? You've got it wrong. I said that "misdemeanor" had a definition different from what it means today -- its present-day definition being that it is a crime lesser in seriousness than a felony. It all started with BOB C. making yet another of his innumerable goofs by making statements to the effect that (a) Clinton has to go because he is guilty of perjury; (b) perjury is a felony; and (c) even if it is a misdemeanor, Clinton still has to go because the Constitution says, "...high crimes and misdemeanors"! And it was my intention to point out how silly that notion was. However, BOB C. is steadfastly opposed to facts coming in the way of his blunders, so I guess he still labors under his misconception!
