5. Oh, Barf, cut me a break
I am tired of this whining of unfairness, the Supreme Court gave Bill Clinton, no slack
NONE over a perjury case. We are talking about the investigation of leaked classified
information, I am tired of the Puke whining.

Here's what the Supreme Court said about why they could not give special treatment to
the prez and he had a lot more responsibility than Scooter Libby for God's sake.

The Supremes definitely stated that the President was not entitled automatically to special treatment that was a civil case, a misdemeanor and they wouldn't even let him delay it.

"If the Judiciary may severely burden the Executive Branch by reviewing the
legality of the President's official conduct...it must follow that the federal
courts have the power to determine the legality of his unoffical conduct..
We therefore hold that the doctrine of seperation of powers does not require
federal courts to stay all private actions against the President until
he leaves office."

Supreme Court on Trial, Ballantine Books
