Toobin's lawyerly, masterful takedown of right-wing abuses of the law in an effort to remove Bill Clinton showcases many of the same tactics (and people) that would later bedevil President Obama during his eight years in office. The loss of decency and respect for law, rules, and procedures began here. Whatever Clinton's failings (and they are many), the way the law and the court system was abused for political gain is inexcusable. We are still paying the price today.
