matter of Jones v. Clinton is a great conundrum. Consider: if Jones, the former
Arkansas state employee, proves her claims, then we must face the fact that we

issue. But if she is proved to be lying, then we must accept that we pushed onto
the public agenda an issue that is venerable to manipulation by alleged victims.
The skeptics will use Jones’ case to cast doubt on the whole cause. Still, Ms Jones deserves the chance to prove her case; she has a right to pur A. the federal courts have much bigger power.
