Letter: Court ruling will open door to presidential suits

Wednesday, June 4, 1997 | 10:33 a.m.

The Supreme Court has ruled that President Clinton can be sued by Paula Jones while he is still in office. The Republican Party considers this a major victory, but is it?

This shortsighted ruling by the Supreme Court not only allows this president to be sued, but future presidents as well. There's nothing to stop me or anyone else from filing frivolous lawsuits against future presidents or members of Congress for that matter. It's something the Republicans should think about if they ever get the White House back.

I suppose the real winners are the lawyers who make lots of money from these lawsuits. Supreme Court, who are all lawyers, were taking care of their own.
