1998: With a new deadline looming at noon today, the Justice Department made a last-ditch emergency appeal to the Supreme Court yesterday to stop prosecutors from questioning President Clinton’s bodyguards about what they know of his relationship with Monica S. Lewinsky. [] Two of the 11 active judges did not participate: David B. Sentelle, who sits on the special panel that oversees Starr and is required by law to recuse himself, and Merrick B. Garland, who was a top aide to Reno until Clinton appointed him to the bench last year.
