It is interesting to get a look at your idiosyncratic view of political history in the last 30- some years, and I look forward to further elaboration.

Well, you have some reasonable thoughts there. I won't bother to defend Reagan except to say you've obviously sold him WAY short. >>The civil trial ruling re: the President was a disaster. Congress needs to fix that. It's bad for the future;<< No, it's good for the future. It takes and will always take some decent evidence to get such a case heard. Not to mention money without expectation of recovery if charges are weak or trumped-up. The Supreme Court ruled that if civil cases against Presidents become a problem they'll deal with that when the time comes. Meanwhile, our President is rightfully subject to the same laws as all of us- a truly American notion. This is good. Anything less would give the office the air of a dictatorship or kingdom...and staving that off is to be welcomed. The more folks think of this issue as you are- the closer we get to a dictatorship. That Clinton fought so hard in the courts to escape Presidential accountability is probably the most potentially damaging actions he has taken as President. And he's done it to save himself from these petty sex issues the likes of which voters already forgave him for...in order to save face and money through continuing to slander women who have and likely have- told the truth.
