Monica Lewinsky is back in Washington, but not by choice... A court order forced her to meet with House Prosecutors, to prepare for possible testimony.
That stirred up Democrats, because the senate has NOT voted on the question of witnesses yet.

((A federal judge ordered Monica Lewinsky to cooperate with the Republican prosecutors...after the Independent Counsel's office helped the trial managers argue that she had no choice...if she wanted to keep her immunity deal.
LOCATOR: CAPITOL HILL.
The G-O-P's move angered the Democrats. And the President's lawyers said this is the message Kenneth Starr sending to Lewinsky by helping to drag her back to Washington:

SOT 0158 (CHARLES RUFF/WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL): I HOLD YOUR LIFE IN MY
HANDS AND I'M GOING TO TRANSFER THAT POWER TO THE MANAGERS FOR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The subject dominated the day's question and answer session in the trial...with the prosecutors insisting they have a legitimate right to prepare potential witnesses.
The chief prosecutor urged Senators to be guided by conscience, not opinion polls.

SOT 1846 (REP. HENRY HYDE/CHIEF HOUSE MANAGER-PROSECUTOR/R-IL.): AMERICA
IS HUNGRY FOR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING. YOU MAY DISAGREE WITH US, BUT WE BELIEVE IN SOMETHING.
But what the Democrats believe is they're being frozen out of the meeting with Lewinsky.

SOT (REP. TOM DASCHLE/MINORITY LEADER/D-SD.): THIS KIND OF SECRECY, THIS
UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE WITH THE SENATE, IS AS CLEAR A DEMONSTRATION OF RAW PARTISANSHIP AS I HAVE SEEN TO DATE ON THE SENATE SIDE.
The Republicans shrugged it off.

SOT 12:52:35 (SEN. ORRIN HATCH/JUDICIARY COMMITTEE/R-UT.): ANYBODY WHO

Just by strolling through the home, visitors get a better perspective of Jackson, the man.
He didn't ALWAYS have his trademark beard, as proven by this early photograph.
He enjoyed gardening, and doing a little weight- lifting.
As in other Southern towns, slavery was prevalent in Lexington.
Jackson was a typical slave owner, with about nine working for him.
