<P>Tim, </P>
<P>You write:</P>
<P>"What is it about 1. a state's chief executive exposing himself to a low-level underling over which he could indirectly have firing authority; 2. having sex with women under him in the White House; 3. groping women who work for him. etc. that you don't call sexual harassment."</P>
<P>Did you take employment law in law school? If you did, then you already know that conduct as or more egregious than what was alleged ( and that you refer to in #1) is not necessarily sexual harassment under the law. If it occurred, yes, it was tremendously crass. But did anyone allege that Clinton ACTUALLY exercised what you call his indirect firing authority? No, because that didn't happen. Did she suffer any negative consequences on her job in terms of reduced pay or hours? No. What were her damages? Not enough, if any, to get an attorney without an axe to grind. </P>
<P>Do I think #s 2 & 3 are sexual harassment? Depends, doesn't it, on whether they are consensual or not? If not, then they may possibly rise to sexual harassment; again, don't you want to know about damages before making an absolute statement? If they are consensual, then they're not sexual harassment; it's still not a good idea, but that's another matter. </P>
<P>Are you saying the Arkansas Bar took action because of alleged sexual harassment? You know better than that. And let's not pretend it was about sexual harassment, as you claim. It was about a group of lawyers who were able to use the Jones suit to pry into his life until, like an ass, he stepped on the item he should have kept in his pants all along. After that it was about perjury, not sexual harassment. <BR><BR>Sunil</P></DIV>
