Well, that's certainly a stellar source.

Why do you hate the constitution?

Neither.

What I'm saying (and not just suggesting) is that she is a disgusting person for handling it the way she did afterwards. I have full respect for the constitution and her doing her job, and I value the fact that even guilty people need good legal representation, THIS on the other hand has nothing to do with her being some sort of champion for the people or women:

However, Rotunda said, for a lawyer to disclose the results of a client’s polygraph and guilt is a potential violation of attorney-client privilege.
Just like everything else, its not about the people, its about Hillary and how she wants to play the game for her own benefit. Many things about her remind me of Leona Helmsley and "taxes being for the little people" but in Hillarys case, its the rules that are for the little people.

Lawyers tell war stories, it's a normal part of the job. And yes, what the prosecution did in terms of literally cutting a hole in the evidence was laughable in that sense. That's what she was laughing about, the absurdity of that. And it was her job to get him the best outcome possible given the limited evidence they had against him after that.

Maybe it sounds callous to non-lawyers, but this is completely normal, it just is less common for it to be a recorded interview that people outside the profession hear. But you have to separate yourself the cases, otherwise you'd burn out in a couple of months.

On Bill and Hillary Clinton’s First Date in 1971, They Crossed a Picket Line

Yale Law School students Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton were both members, alongside future Connecticut senator Richard Blumenthal and Bill Clinton’s eventual Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor Robert Reich, of the Yale Law School Students Committee for Local 35, the university's blue-collar worker union, and signatories, during the week before the union went on strike, to a statement asserting “WE BELIEVE THE UNION DESERVES THE SUPPORT OF YALE STUDENTS AND FACULTY." Bill Clinton was even, former UNITE HERE President John Wilhelm would note decades later in his eulogy for Vincent Sirabella, the Voter Registration Chairman of the Sirabella for Mayor Campaign.

And yet, on her first date with classmate Clinton in 1971, Rodham would later recall:

We both had wanted to see a Mark Rothko exhibit at the Yale Art Gallery but, because of a labor dispute, some of the university's buildings, including the museum, were closed. As Bill and I walked by, he decided he could get us in if we offered to pick up the litter that had accumulated in the gallery's courtyard. Watching him talk our way in was the first time I saw his persuasiveness in action. We had the entire museum to ourselves. We wandered through the galleries talking about Rothko and twentieth-century art. I admit to being surprised at his interest in and knowledge of subjects that seemed, at first, unusual for a Viking from Arkansas. We ended up in the museum's courtyard, where I sat in the large lap of Henry Moore's sculpture Drape Seated Woman while we talked until dark.

The relationship between Rodham and Clinton, two instrumental figures in the decoupling of the Democratic Party from the priorities of the mainstream labor movement, thus began with the crossing of a picket line.

When Rodham and Clinton picked up the garbage strewn about the art gallery courtyard (if, indeed, they ever did so), they were doing exactly what everyone from Vincent Sirabella to the Black Student Alliance at Yale had asked students not to do: they were performing—or at the very least offering to perform—the work that members of Local 35’s Grounds Maintenance division, had refused.

Rodham and Clinton were offering themselves as replacement labor, blunting, if only temporarily, the effects of the strike on the university. The two law students then bartered their litter pickup, which was, in essence, scab labor (or maybe just the promise thereof) into access to a struck building.

What ARE you rambling about? Or is this just a cut and paste?


Are you now alleging that President Bill Clinton was anti-union?


Can you stick to a coherent message or no?

^^^^^ this. I spend a significant amount of time with lawyers and circumstances that would completely shock other people. Once you see tragedy day and day out - you do have to have a kind of
'gallows humor" (much like doctors do) about it.


Or . . you can't do your job and you will go crazy,
