Huh? So we've repealed portions of the Constiution ya think?
BTW, Clinton should have been impeached. I believe he got away with murder in the White Water Scandal. And it wasn't just Monica Lewinski -- who was what? 21? -- it was also Gennifer Flowers, who was picked up by AK state troopers and brought to see Clinton when he was sitting as govenor because he desired her.
If Clinton had had a patriotic bone in his body, he would have resigned and spared the nation the creepiness. I can still hear it:
'I did not have sex with that woman. I did not have sexal relations with Monica Lewinski."
and who can forget:
'it depends on what 'is' 'means'.
Ugh. Gag me.

The man's a liar and a sexual predator.
And his freaking wife is just as sleasy. Has no one noticed she's lezzie? No wonder she doesn't care who her husband f**ks -- only none of my lezzie girlfriends would allow such a sleasebag in their lives in any capacity.
O, I just can't stand either one of them. It's like Nixon -- if Nixon had been able to get it up. Gawd forbid Obama would pardon Bush. I say send him to the federal pen, or wherever war criminals go.
I didn't need to 'heal' when Ford pardoned Nixon -- I needed justice. That's exactly what I need now as well.

Impeachment was taken off the table by the Dems in 06. I knew what it meant. They simply refused to do the job they are/were elected to do. We can see they haven't done their jobs so far, and likely won't. Ever. Neither Bush nor Cheney will be impeached.
Being brought up on charges after they have left office is also very unlikely. I doubt the citizens will have the motivation to focus on the past while everything is crumbling around them in the present.
Doubtful also that anything will happen in regard to international bodies, organizations or law. Aren't we the biggest cock on the block (so to speak)? So who could effect a seriour effort to make that happen. We simply have too many guns.
I do believe he has committed acts which are both impeachable and prosecutable. I just don't see it happening.
As an attorney candy you know the importance of the legal definition and meanings of words. Clinton most certainly had some slimy elements, so this isn't intended as an overall defense of him or his character. But it seems from a most literal legal interpretation his question was legitimate. A bit of a stretch? Yes. But not completely out of bounds.
Many laws are written with a glossary, or dictionary, or definitions. Take the Uniform Commercial Code, or Kentuckys version of such, which is in KRS 355. Their are sections that are devoted to defining terms used throughout the various chapters, and with specificity. Sometimes words in common usage are defined quite differently in their overall legal meaning, or even as they apply to only one section of code, or law.
I have seen the term "firearm" used in one law, or statute. On its face one usually assumes the term to mean any sort of firearm. Looking in the definitions as they pertain to that law specifically the term "firearm" has been defined as only a shotgun. That excludes pistols, revolvers, rifles, bazookas, surface to air missiles, etc.
So asking what the definition of "is" is does have some merit. Clinton was an attorney. He knew what he was doing when he pushed the boundaries. And yeah it was slimy.
After your suggestion that we try approaching your assisting me with my legal issues with a fresh or new start I attempted to respond via email. I note that your profile is no longer available to receive emails.
If you're still interested in that it appears you'll need to provide me with another means of contacting you.

Hey there Uncle Nasty...hope you're doing well.
I won't compare Bush's criminal acts to those I believe Clinton committed. It's a matter of apples and oranges. Flowers and Lewinski are just two people, and both are still alive, though I'd imagine their lives are pretty well ruined. I can make a distinction between sexual predation and financial crimes as compared to Treason and mass murder.
I fail to see why we'd have to prosecute both or neither, or do so simultaneously. Cliinton will likely be around awhile..he can wait.
Malfeasance in office is something I know a bit about, but not as to POTUS. I believe he loses the cloak of Executive Privildge when he departs -- finally! --on Jan. 20th, 2009 or so.
If Bush had a patriotic bone in his body, he'd resign tomorrow and let Obama take over.
But patriotism isn't what fuels the fire to become POTUS for most folks. Probably not even JFK.
Folks, there's a post on Legal Planning for BDSM Couples and Families here:
http://www.collarchat.com/m_2280980/tm.htm
The Mods moved it from General BDSM to Professional Services, which I would guess most folks never read.
It's probaably not worth looking at if'n you reisde outside the United States.
Peace out.
