Gingrich's fate led to partisan bloodletting. After 14 hours of wrangling, the committee thought it had agreed on how to proceed: five days of hearings, then a vote on Gingrich's punishment and then Cole's report. Both sides woke up horrified. Republicans hated the public hearings.

...Monday's hearing was the third time this legal issue has been aired before a federal bench, with the courts splitting on the decision. A federal judge in Arkansas had ruled the trial must be delayed until Clinton leaves office, but that the evidence discovery process could proceed.

Yet Sorrell Trope, a veteran California family-law attorney, points out that the civil trial could drag on for months and be followed by years of appeals. "You have to have a custody decision before then," he says...
