<<Do you think that a Congress of one party could be impartial in their work>>

I absolutely think that a one-party Congress would do the right thing, even if they were of the party opposite that of the President. After all, they stand to lose credibility with the American public if they are too obviously biased, and they don't remove the opposition party from power. Even without impeachment, a President under investigation has his authority and power much diminished, so an opposition Congress can afford to be "fair".

<<On the other hand Star would be a hard act to follow>>

Impeachment is such a serious issue that I think the Congress should never have delegated the responsibility. The investigation would have had a lot more credibility if it had been conducted by people on both sides of the issue that were ultimately answerable to us. It would have taken even longer, and cost more, because the entire Democrat body in Congress would have fought it every step of the way, but such tactics would have been obvious to everyone watching.
