The review stated that Posner never says which way he would have voted on removal - but that he comes down strongly that the grounds were there for Clinton's impeachment and removal.

When I stated that Posner did not desire Clinton's removal, I was reflecting Posner's belief that Clinton has not been much more than an caretaker, perhaps unwilling, of the Reaganism. I guess I should have qualified my statement to "removal at the outset".

While that may be true policy-wise, I understand your point that Clinton is a criminal and that his behavior should not be condoned. Some people, like Sullivan, think impeachment served that purpose, taking away Clinton's "moral" authority to govern - let's face it, Clinton has been a lame duck ever since.

Unlike Sullivan, I believe that Posner, though not desiring Clinton's removal at the outset, had set forth such strong arguments that impeachment and removal were Constitutionally valid that he would have voted for removal in the end, had he a vote.
