Walter Nixon's impeachment set the preciedent for the name of what proceeding that stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Paula Jones?
Walter Nixon Walter Louis Nixon Jr. (born 1928) is a former United States federal judge who was impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office by the Senate. Because Nixon's impeachment was for perjury, the case was cited as a precedent in the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton.
Poe v. Ullman Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497 (1961) , was a United States Supreme Court case that held that plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge a Connecticut law that banned the use of contraceptives, and banned doctors from advising their use, because the law had never been enforced. Therefore, any challenge to the law was deemed unripe, because there was no actual threat of injury to anyone who disobeyed the law. The same statute would later be challenged yet again (successfully) in "Griswold v. Connecticut" (1965).
