HI Sue,
And that's the point I keep making here. Unless someone understand the
specificity of the law in Arkansas that covers these allegations it is
impossible to fault the judge for making a biased decision. I read today
that it was not what the judge thought was "outrageous" behavior, but
what the law said had to be present to comprise outrageous behavior.
THAT is what the judge had to base her ruling on.
Clearly this judge does not like Clinton nor does she come close to
approving his alleged actions. Her duty was to follow the law and that
is what she did.
