As always, Dahlia Lithwick asks pointed questions: Bill Clinton is a lawyer. Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Rep. Artur Davis is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer. Chuck Schumer is a lawyer. Joe Biden is a lawyer. Ted Kennedy is a lawyer. I have heard virtually all of these people speak poignantly and passionately about the Constitution, the rule of law, and the outrages visited upon the Bill of...

Last night former U.S. Senator Bob Graham sat next to me right before Bill Clinton took the stage. This afternoon DNC Chair Howard Dean came back the Faith Caucus meeting and made a few remarks. By coincidence he took the seat to my immediately left. I ended up having a chance to have nice talks with both. Both of them are members of the United Church of Christ....

On January 26, 1998 Bill Clinton, with sincerity and firmness of conviction, uttered his famous truth:I did not have sexual relations with that womanCNN had their expression expert to "read" Bill's gestures, his lips, and all other visible signs whether he was telling the truth.

So I just have to say how impressed I was with Hillary Clinton's speech tonight at the Democratic convention in Denver. I've always liked and admired Hillary from way back when Bill Clinton was running for his first term. I wasn't so sure of him back then, although I ended up liking him a lot and have a lot of respect for all he accomplished on the job, but I knew I liked Hillary Clinton. And for...

With the Democratic National Convention going full steam ahead there is great interest in what the Clinton's will or will not do in throwing their support to Barack Obama. Think for a moment, Bill Clinton has been the darling of Politics and more precisely Democratic Politics for more than 16 years. Why would he want to so easily turn over the reigns of power to the upstart Barack Obama.By the...
