Addi, i'm still unsure how an investigation of Whitewater ended with perjury entrapment on adultery...considering all the money and energy that has been spent on 'getting Clinton,' this is the worst offense they can find? those questions shouldn't have even been asked in the first place. what does his affair have to do with Whitewater? Starr only asked those questions because he knew there was a high probability that most married men would deny having an adulterous affair. if you sit anyone on the stand, probe around long enough and you'll eventually find something that he said was a lie. so the question is...was it relevant to the investigation? i think not. also, if this whole thing is not about sex, why did Livingston resign? he didn't commit perjury. he told the truth about his affairs. how does his telling the truth now make him no longer qualified to be Speaker of the House? Starr's asking questions of such a personal nature is more of a threat to our civil liberties than Clinton lying to cover up his act of consensual sex. true, it's not exactly conduct becoming of a President, but impeachment? a bloodless coup d'etat...but a coup d'etat nonetheless... Will ps. just venting, Addi. i'm not holding you responsible. take care.

Too bad 72% of the polled populous haven't read the constitution. But I digress, you still won't answer the question. Please define the gray area that makes it acceptable for Liberals to act illegally without losing moral high ground or being subject to punishment. The conclusion that must be drawn is that you will not answer this question directly. You have been asked it twice and tried to skirt it both times. Mr. Clinton was impeached because he thought incorrectly that obfuscation and misdirection under oath was not punishable. He didn't want to face his questions directly either. Happy Holidays Peter PS - The framers of the Constitution felt that only about one in twenty citizens were sufficiently informed to vote rationally. That still leaves twenty three percent of the uninformed that deplore perjury.
