You've gone mad. Foley didn't HAVE sex with the 17-year-old; THAT'S THE POINT. > > And the law in question (the Violence Against Women > Act of 1994), a provision of which the Republicans > used to entrap Clinton into lying about his entirely > legal affair with Lewinsky by making him testify > about his past sexual behavior in an unrelated > sexual harassment lawsuit, was strenuously opposed > by Republicans when it was passed. Actually, it was strenuously opposed by civil libertarians. And it was a law championed by Clinton...and that's why I brought it up in the first place IN RESPONSE TO YOUR BRINGING UP THE FACT THAT FOLEY HAD BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LAW THAT GOT HIM INTO TROUBLE. Don't you read? You say the law was strenuously opposed by Republicans...can you document the vote break-down by Republicans and Democrats in Congress to back up your claim? > > The law that caught Foley, in contrast, was strongly > supported by Republicans. > > Your error in stating the law's provision, incidentally, > was that you claimed it required a defendant in a sexual > harassment case to testify about past sexual harrassment > cases the defendant had been involved in and thus > compelled Clinton to testify about Lewinsky. > > That's obviously wrong just on its face, since Clinton > had never been sued by Lewinsky. No, you twit and I never said he WAS being sued by Lewinski. He was being sued by Paula Jones and that's where he lied -- and the cause of his impeachment -- due to the law in question.
