ink.net... Doesn't matter. When a person in an ultimate power position makes or accepts advances from a bottom dweller, it's harassment. Check out some of the court's decisions on such cases. If Monica had filed sexual harassment charges against him, he'd likely have been convicted. My guess is that she was paid off to forget the whole thing. You're just plain wrong: Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Such definitions are irrelevant in light of redundant court decisions. You can quote them all you like, but they mean nothing. Law is more a matter of legal precedent than definitions written in some book. At least two other people have told you this as well, but you refuse to acknowledge the truth of the matter. That, however, is nothing new. So, please show us the "precedence" of these redundant court decisions. The passage I quoted is what is used as a guideline for businesses. Are you saying that they're not valid? How did you come to that conclusion. Should we alert the media? Basically, what you're saying is that it's not ok for two consenting adults who happen to work with each other to have an affair. And, further, you're saying that this should be investigated and prosecuted for lying about it. Is that what you're really saying??? Seems kind of like a lot of gov't intrusion into someone's private life to me. But, you're the conservative not me. He was also found not guilty by the Senate. No, he wasn't. He was impeached, but the Senate refused to remove him from office. That was probably a good decision for the welfare of the country. But it's rather like the decision in the O.J. Simpson case--he was acquitted, but that is a far cry from stating that he is innocent. He's not, nor was Clinton. A president who lies for political purposes is a liability to the country and a denegration to the office of the President. Show me some evidence that Bush lied about WMDs and I'll be the first to call for his impeachment. I already did, but you refuse to acknowledge it. In any case, you're understanding of the impeachment process is flawed: During Clinton's presidency, the world continued to transition from the political order of the Cold War, and the United States experienced the longest period of economic expansion in its history. In 1998, he became the second president to be impeached by the United States House of Representatives. He was subsequently acquitted by the United States Senate and remained in office to complete his term. Read up before you type further: http://www.eagleton.rutgers.edu/e-go...tonimpeach.htm Show me one piece of evidence that Bush lied about WMDs prior to the Iraq war? Hint: you can't, because he didn't. He was misinformed by the intel community. And no doubt he was happy to have a reason to invade Iraq, but he expected to find WMDs in Iraq and was just as puzzled as the rest of us why none were uncovered. Responding to bad intel is not lying, no matter how you spin it. It may have been stupidity, but not deception. I'm not a prosecuter nor a judge. There's plenty of evidence out there, and it should be vetted in court. Are you afraid of that? Not in the least. I'm under the impression that Bush has handled the Iraq situation with incompetence and stubborn ignorance. But I've seen no evidence that he deliberately falsified information in order to further his agenda. Show me that, and I'll call for his ouster. How am *I* supposed to show you that? I'm calling for an investigation. Are you claiming Bush has never lied? Every human being lies. Even you, difficult as that may be to accept. g But as to the WMDs, I don't believe he lied. He knew well that if the WMDs weren't found, his ratings would be in the basement. He took the risk, He knew that based on the intelligence or he should have known. For a guy with an MBA, he sure didn't check to carefully or have his minions check. You don't believe. Well, that's an opinion and we need a full investigation. What if he DID lie? Do you really want someone who lies and 1000s die to remain in office? believing WMDs were a good sell to the American public for the elimination of Saddam Hussein. And I believe he had ulterior motives for taking Saddam down. But I don't believe he *knew* there were no WMDs. IF he is impeached for lying about WMDs, the case will never fly. There is simply no evidence that he deliberately falsified such info. There IS a preponderance of evidence that he was given faulty intel. THAT is probably why Pelosi took impeachment off the table--she's a good attorney and knows a non-case when she sees it. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
