She was legally required to provide the best defence for her client.

Documents from the 1975 case include an affidavit (p. 34) sworn by Clinton, from which the "in court, Hillary told the judge that I made up the rape story" portion of the claims was derived. That affidavit doesn't show, as claimed, that Hillary Clinton asserted the defendant "made up the rape story because [she] enjoyed fantasizing about men"; rather, it shows that other people, including an expert in child psychology, had said that the complainant was "emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and to engage in fantasizing about persons, claiming they had attacked her body," and that "children in early adolescence tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences." Clinton therefore asked the court to have the complainant undergo a psychiatric exam (at the defense's expense) to determine the validity of that information.

Quoth the Raven "Nevermore"

Raven would rather ask questions that may never be answered, then accept answers which must never be questioned.

All you need to do is get the US Supreme court to make another of their famously inventive rulings on the constitution. After finding gay marriage acceptable under a 250 year old document drawn up in a time of slavery and where gays were executed, I am sure they could be convinced to rule that Trump is ineligible for the Presidency fro some reason or other that they can make up.

Its times like these we should all thank our 'founding fathers' for our Parliamentary democracy!

Your democracy is in trouble and always has been. It has relied on the good nature of most of its PResidents to void the destruction that PResidential systems usually end up in. Think of all the tyrants and dictators you have ever heard of. How many of them had the title 'President' and how many ruled over such a system?

The biggest danger in Trump is that he is exactly the kind of dictator-in-training the rest of the world suffers through. No wonder Trump and Putin are such friends.

I agree with you.

My post was referring to parliamentary democracy (e.g. Australian, NZ, Canadian, British...)
