Starr report and CDA
by Matthew James Gering 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The US government violates their own CDA by posting this graphically detailed report to the Internet. Am I the only one that doesn't find that ironic. Well it's good ammo (perhaps) for the next time the CDA comes up. Matt > > http://www.cnn.com/starr.report/

If Clinton would lie under oath about a non-crime (ie sex between consenting adults) what would he do if faced with a real issue? He should have said "Yeah, I had sex with her. What business is it of yours?". ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder. Ancient Persian Proverb The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.

IANAL (feel free to weigh in here, Unicorn), but I heard on one show or another that lying under oath is perjury only if it's material to the suit. Since the Jones case was dismissed, it was argued that even if he lied then, it wasn't material and thus wasn't perjury -- they claimed that nobody had every been convicted of perjury for lying in a case that was dismissed. Of course he's saying he didn't even lie: like Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys, as espoused in their legal treatise "Waitret, please waitret, come sit on my face", he believes that "Eatin' ain't cheatin'." YMMV. In any case, despite these legalisms, I'm not convinced that perjury in any case should be considered treason or high crimes and misdemeanors. The Founding Fathers could have been more specific about what was impeachable, and they chose not to be, leaving it intentionally ambiguous. Despite those arguments, this stuff really isn't about perjury: it's about the Republicans' case of nixon envy... Clinton's peccadillos are a far cry from Watergate (or Teapot Dome or Iran-Contra), but it's the best chance they've had since the Crook was dumped. > If you don't think about lying about sex and related issues under oath > should be a crime, well, then change the law. But right now any form of > lying under oath is perjury, whether you like it or not. If he did commit perjury, would that be an impeachable offense? I claim it's up to the House to interpret just what constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors, since it isn't spelled out in the Constitution. Disclaimer -- I'm not a Democrat, and I'm annoyed with Clinton's behavior on crypto issues. If I appear to be defending him, it's inadvertant -- I just feel he should be attacked on material points rather than whatever sleazy stuff Starr has found under his rocks. Jim

What part of: High crimes and misdemeanors don't you understand? Oh, and it isn't 'high misdemeanors'... I figure it's the fact that 'principles' are involved that is confusing everybody, no room to move like there is with relativism. Bottem line, he held a public office, while in that office he should commit *NO* crime or else he should loose that office. There was no abmiguity there in the minds of the founding fathers and there shouldn't be in yours either. If this confuses you then take it as an indication that you have a axiomatic contradiction in your world view and need to rethink things in a serious way. As Jefferson said, if you hold a public office your public property. Nail the son of a bitch to the wall, he did the crime let him do the time. It's a pitty he doesn't have this sort of empathy for all those people he's put in jail for consensual crimes during his tenure. The man has a base double standard, let him pay for it. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
