Jones is a significant decision because it made the larger point that a sitting president can be made to defend a civil lawsuit, for unofficial duties, while in office. The Jones case was ultimately concluded with Clinton winning on summary judgment. Even more significant, however, was the aftermath of the case.
Deferring a civil lawsuit against a sitting president is not constitutionally required. The fact that a president has immunity from lawsuits involving his official duties does not support the notion that a president should get immunity for his unofficial conduct.
WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, November 13) -- After fighting Paula Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit for four years, President Bill Clinton agreed Friday to pay Jones $850,000 to drop the case. But the deal includes no apology from the president.
Jones, a former Arkansas state clerk, contends that she suffered from a "hostile work environment" and that her civil rights were violated in 1991 when she rejected a sexual advance from then-Gov. Clinton.
Jones kept quiet for more than two years about what she says happened in 1991.
