It's only prosecutable as a tort and then only if the "consenting" party can establish that she didn't consent. Monica clearly consented.

The point of all that wasn't Monica, it was the President LIED UNDER OATH.

apparantly Judges disagree with you...........study harder in law school

When sexual exploits happen between a supreme supervisor, and a very low level subordinate, in an official office, during working hours is not a properly private affair.

1. Only when undue influence can be demonstrated. She was free to make decisions on her behalf. It is not as if she were an inmate and Clinton was a jailer... NOW the argument that it was morally incorrect is fine, but that is not a legal argument.

1. The judges didn't determine the line of questioning.
2. The line of questioning was done selected by Starr.
3. Clinton DID make the mistake of answering at all, but that doesn't mean that the question ever should have been asked.

However it's irrelevant Clinton took the hit...

At the least, and inquiry is justified no? You or I, engaged in such an event with a comparable disparity of power (which incidentally is almost impossible, the players in this case are nearly unique,) would be hard pressed before an inquiry to demonstrate that the difference in status alone wasn't coercive.

In any event, the fact that it happened at work would get you or I fired in almost any case.

And finally, contrary to popular misconception, Clinton wasn't imeached for the affair. (Though I think personally that would have been justified, and in almost any previous generation he almost certainly would have been removed from office.)

The question probably should not have been asked, but it was, and instead of being truthful he lied under oath which is perjury.

Bill Clinton only had himself to blame after that.

Now back to the story at hand. If it is true that the New York Times is waiting to release the story just before the election it would only confirm what most people who do not have blinders on already know that many in the media do the bidding of the democratic party.

I find it utterly fascinating that some have tried to deflect blame from the blameworthy parties by pursuing a "you too" strategy: Way back in the 1990s, Ken Starr asked Bill Clinton some inconvenient questions...

Boy, talk about trying to derail a thread!
