And of course, he then went into Court and lied about it under oath. The lying was the real issue... the idea that anyone (President or not) can just decide that a line of questioning in a legal proceeding is irrelevant, illegitimate, whatever and then lie about it as a result, sets a dangerous precedent. If I am not mistaken, the questioning in his case had been upheld by a Judge before Clinton had to answer it. You just can't have people deciding what rulings they will or will not obey. I also believe that Clinton signed some of the sexual harassment laws that require defendants to answer these types of questions in Court. So why is it his "private life" when he supports comparable inquiries into everyone else's life?
The judge and counsel carefully worked out a painstakingly specific definition of "sex," before Clinton was questioned. Clinton understood exactly what he was doing and lied repeatedly with Bob Bennett sitting right there. After Clinton was caught in his lies, Bennett affected an air of great indignation that his client would lie in his presence -- as though he didn't know his client was perjuring himself.
One of them...there's also abuse of power, witness intimidation, using government positions to pay off his mistresses, using his Office to persecute women that turned him down...
Public corruption, not personal.
The Violence Against Women Act.
Clinton personally demonized those who protested against the specific provisions he later complained about.
