President Clinton was a lawyer, if anyone should have known better, it was him. Furthermore, the lying under oath and the following cover up had already caused the impeachment of one president. If anyone should have known better, it was definitely Bill Clinton, for his own wife, following law school, worked as a member of the council that filed the articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon. He lied under oath, and then attempted to cover-up his lies. The press fooled the American public into thinking it was about the sex, but it was about the lying under oath. Any Senator, Democrat and Republican that voted against impeachment should be ashamed of themselves.
The reason Richard Nixon resigned his office was because the Senate Republican Leadership had imformed him that members were free to vote as the evidence indicated and not to follow party lines.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
