McGrath,

Senators serve for 6 years, Presidents for 4. Hillary completes her term in '06. I'm not sure of the laws in NY. Each state varies. If they're like Vermont, she can run for office while retaining her seat, but if she wins, she'd have to resign from the Senate.

"Clinton" turns up stuff too. Mostly Rev war era. And the ever popular "adultery". Maybe "dumb" would be a good one.

Kat,

Thanks for doing my homework on the Alien and Sedition Acts.

Most of what I could find on federal law (on a quick search) was about related suits that can be brought (violation of civil rights and such) Intuitively I think you're right but all the stuff I could find dealt with related issues: i.e violation of civil rights, possessions of date rape drugs, versus the actual crime. Unless the Feds differ to sates when rape happens on Federal Property, these should be something. Maybe Larry will read the thread and help out.
