Wright’s Opinion

Share via

Re “Refreshing Ruling Blows Away the ‘Is, Is’ Smoke,” Opinion, April 18: Despite the point raised by Suzanne Garment that the content of the 32-page opinion speaks to the boorish conduct of President Clinton, the fact remains that Judge Susan Webber Wright had no legal right to issue the opinion. Period.

It is unfortunate that Garment sees the situation as a legal ambiguity, when in reality, Justice Wright has abused her authority. President Clinton’s behavior was obnoxious, but even a first-year law student can see and appreciate the blatant misuse of the power to impose sanctions.
