According to the University of Arkansas website, President Clinton joined the faculty of the University of Arkansas School of Law in 1973, teaching Trade Regulation, Admiralty, Criminal Procedure, Federal Jurisdiction and Constitutional Law. He left at the end of 1976 to begin work as Attorney General of the State of Arkansas.

He may have been morally repugnant and brought shame and discredit to the Presidency, but he was a professor of constitutional law.

That doesn't make him a constitutional scholar. Any law school graduate, including me, might be hired to teach a course in constitutional law, but a true scholar has published on the subject, argued before appellate courts, etc. Blubba did none of that. When I was in law school, my trusts and estates professor had absolutely no experience in the field. She was a Boalt Hall grad with an interest in leftwing social issues (of course) and knew absolutely nothing about the subject she was hired to teach. My impression is that x42 was a similarly ill-equipped law school prof.

Ohhhhh c,mon now, he wasn't so morally repugnant as he was more readily understood to be a borderline sociopath. Fully absorbed in the ambitions of self, Bill Clintoon was a political chameleon who assumed the coloration of his environments and the constituencies on which his fortunes had come to depend.(As in the Chinese Military and Billionaire James Lippo of Indonesia for starters) Furthermore, (he says with a smile) Bill Clintoon will have great difficulty spinning the public and historians over Judge Susan Webber Wright's Contempt Citation, the first sanction of a sitting president for disobeying a court order.
May I Quote Cal Thomas: "...Contempt is not just a legal term. Its definition gets to the heart of the character of the person who demonstrates contemptuousness toward the law and the courts: "the state of mind of one who despises; disdain; lack of respect; willful disobedience to or open disrespect of a court, judge or legislative body". This president has performed the hat trick, demonstrating disrespect for all three -- a court, a judge and the federal legislature..."
He may have taught constitutional law, but he spit upon that which he allegedly taught, and people who don't identify with his type of behavior won't soon forget that.
