"Let there be no mistake.." Such self importance!

From the beginning you've twisted every argument to reflect your political leanings. Political party loyalty in its most shallow form, has been the singular underpinning of all your specious arguments.. nothing deeper.

The rule of law is not the bulwark of liberty. The concept of liberty runs a far broader and deeper course through our history than that shallow, self serving ditty you spout from the manager's book of slogans.

Liberty has its roots in the common right to property and individual rights finally expressed so well in the Bill of Rights. Concepts revolutionary and unique to the formation of American values. Liberty was the battle cry of the common man, not the wish of those wanting the traditions of rule of law.

British liberty embodied the essence of your "rule of law" to a hierarchical aristocratic society of less than five percent of the male population. It embodied the philosophical argument of an ordered society.

American liberty was never a voucher for the tradition of rule of law, to the contrary, liberty (as the right to equal pursuit of property then expanded by Jefferson to 'happiness') is the political entitlement that insures freedom.

This may be a little under or over your head, but if you get your head out of the Clinton myopia you'll be more interesting and less dangerous to the Republic.

Where do you get that jla?

<< Further, what is the effect of all this on our country's sexual harassment laws? >>

Show me where any sexual harassment laws have been changed as a direct result of this trial.

On the other hand, I will venture a guess that we will see a great reduction in claims filed over the next year.

your "opinion" is dreadfully misguided and dangerous to the Republic.

Well JLA, since only a tiny minority of the US population agree with you on this issue I suggest you leave the US in search of a country more in line with your views. Iran comes to mind, or maybe South Africa... well actually any oppressive government regime might do.
