It is in my state - North Carolina:

Quote:§ 14-184.  Fornication and adultery.
  If any man and woman, not being married to each other,
shall lewdly and lasciviously associate, bed and cohabit
together, they shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor:
Provided, that the admissions or confessions of one shall not be
received in evidence against the other. (1805, c. 684, P.R.;

Wow. Many people convicted of that in NC? How about the one for falsely registering in a hotel as husband and wife? :rolleyes:

Also, and perhaps GTS should answer this one, what kind of jailtime could a Class 2 misdemeanor in NC get one?

As for the rest of the civilized world (outside of Virginia, who considers "consensual sodomy" to be a crime :rolleyes: ), is it a crime elsewhere?

After the Lawrence v. Texas decision, the sodomy decision, I think it is doubtful that adultery can be prosecuted. Anyway, do we actually want to start doing that? Sex between consenting adults ought not to be a criminal matter, in my opinion.

What Billy Boy did that was distinctly criminal was lie under oath about his situation with the intern. Perjury, and maybe also obstruction of justice. These were impeachable offenses. He was never going to be convicted though, as that miserable pep rally the Democrats had after the articles of impeachment were delivered to the Senate showed.

Dogger Wrote:PUHLEAZZEEE,

Lewinsky goes to the heart of the matter into a rape? Paula Jones contends he exposed himself. Run a five dollar bill through a trailer park you'll be amazed at what latches on. President Clinton was hounded from the day he took office. Keep those blinders on and you won't see the injustice of the entire proceedings.

Actually, the Carville quote was either a 20 or a 100 dollar bill. No matter, you bought the Demo line. Of course, they failed to mention that Billy Boy himself is strictly trailer trash.

I fully believe the allegations of Paula Jones. In fact, I suspect that Billy Boy is a sex offender. He hasn't been reported by others because of the definite risk to their lives. Have you seen how many Clinton associates turned up dead?

I also suspect that the reason that fellow who absconded to Europe got a pardon was because his wife did Clinton one or more times. Its the only way to explain pardoning a guy who fled the country and was resisting extradition.

no it isn't. I hate clinton, but i'm pretty sure adultery isn't a crime.

Ain't in Dee Cee, but it is in a number of States

Dogger Wrote:You know he DID NOT LIE under oath. There were three criteria on the deposition questioning. He had the last two criteria struck because his lawyers argued the definitions of the last two criteria were too vague. He did not have sexual intercourse, the one criteria they could ask. No one ever brings this up.

Now he did commit acts of with the cigar but HE did not commit sexual intercourse. SHE did do a sexual act. After reading this I am aware of how silly it does sound, but I do contend that HE did not have sexual intercourse. HE DID NOT LIE.

President Clinton Impeached
Behind a backdrop unique in historical terms, on Saturday 19 December 1998, President William Jefferson Clinton was impeached by the United States House of Representatives, becoming only the second President in U.S. History, and the only man popularly elected as President to have been so charged.

The House voted 228 to 206 to approve proposed Article I of Impeachment (Perjury before a Federal Grand Jury), and voted 221 to 212 to approve proposed Article III of Impeachment (Obstruction of Justice).

Although the impeachment process succeeded at the level of the House of Representatives, without the Senate's confirming action in this matter, no further action was taken.

Wasn't somebody just accusing the Democratic Party of being packed with bicoastal cultural elitists?

A big reason why we are dealing with terrorists is because of Clinton.

He had the opportunity to assassinate OBL but was too busy spitting game at his fat & ugly intern. Maybe if he took care of OBL when he had the chance 9/11 may not have happened.

We've known about OBL since the Oliver North days. It just took a long time before people realized what we were dealing with. It's not GW's fault.

Boy, THOSE sure worked. Funny how you don't jump all over Clinton for not getting Bin Laden, but Bush is fair game. Yep, you're not biased at all. :rolleyes:

Never heard of anybody being convicted of either offense. You asked the question, I answered it.

It was suggested that he should have been prosecuted, would have surely been convicted, and would have gotten jailtime or a fine. But I know you cons don't mind using absurd hyperbole to try to get your point across.

Perhaps you've forgotten that Republicans criticized Clinton for those missile attacks at the time. They accused him of "Wagging the Dog." Remember?

I can't imagine what Republicans would have said or done if President Clinton had proposed a full scale invasion of Afghanistan.

There may have been a few elected officials in Washington more concerned about Osama bin Laden than President Clinton, but I don't know of any.

Schad, call me a warmongerer all you want, but I'd have been fully supportive of a war against ANYONE that posed a threat to our national security. I'm an American first.

We're both Americans, Kev. I'm not suggesting otherwise.
