I'm sorry I don't have your crystal vision of right and wrong here. Well it's not hard. All you have to do is to stop introducing irrelevant arguments. You keep saying that things are so murky, and then you introduce another digression and murk everything up a bit more. You really want some clarity? Try this: Regardless of every other charge and slur and diversion floating around this story, Bill Clinton swore an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," and then, entirely of his own volition, violated that oath. This is perjury, which is a felony. A felon is barred from the privilege of holding the office of the Presidency, therefore Clinton, by committing the crime of perjury, exempted himself from being legally able to stay in office. There is absolutely no justification or rationalization for this. It doesn't matter an iota what motivated his accusers, or if any of them have also perjured themselves, or what the public thinks about it. All that matters is that he committed at least one felony and simply by doing that exempted himself from the office. Everything else is just diversion. Personally I think you prefer murky; it allows you to continue to defend the indefensible. -BLT
