jlallen, Clinton would be a fool to appeal the contempt of court citation. Anyway, his law degree is toast and the fine will be small so I doubt he cares. The guy seems lost in space these days anyway. I think the stress of having to fight a "non-war" war is starting to break old Bubba. The guy looks like hell these days...eyes are glazed over, doesn't focus. His voice wavers and his head nods...I think the boy from Hope is broken. -John

If he is as smart as the liberals have claimed, Clinton will shut up and take this slap on the wrist like a good little bubba. Wright claimed Clinton lied for the purpose of obstructing justice, and that the court did not rule that the facts over which he lied were irrelevant to the Jones case. This is precisely what I once tried to pound into the liberal skull of a combatant here who went by the name of “dougn.” What Wright by implication claims here is that Clinton's behaviour was not a civil contempt of court, but rather perjury. Wright erroneously gave Clinton this slap on the wrist likely as an act of symbolism and to avoid the extraordinary discomfort of having to claim a sitting president committed perjury. She warned Clinton not to challenge her judgement because she likely knows she errs but sees this as the perfect way to make the entire sorry episode vanish. It is a terrible thing to see so called Americans at all levels abuse the law for personal gain, and it is quite horrid to witness the wretched state of Arkansas make such a repeated legal ass of itself.
