My grandfather and his buddies didn't storm the
beaches of Iwo Jima so Bill Clinton could trash our
Constitution and Al Gore could steal the presidency.
I blame Trent Lott and Ted Stevens and the other
Republican senators who refused to do their
constitutional duty, who refused to hold an
impeachment trial, and who refused to uphold the rule of
law.
Now, nothing seems to matter when it comes to
complying with the law. Clinton says he defended the
Constitution by committing perjury and obstructing
justice - and humiliating his daughter.
And now Gore claims to be defending "the will of the people" with his transparent efforts
to steal the presidency. Suddenly, the Electoral College is meaningless. We have never
elected a president by popular vote. Every candidate running for president knows they
have to win a majority of the Electoral College vote.
But if the Constitution doesn't matter when it comes to impeachment, it doesn't matter
when it comes to the Electoral College. And Senator-elect Hillary Clinton says it's time
for the Electoral College to go. So, you have a choice. You can stand with James
Madison, the main author of the Constitution, or Hillary Clinton. I choose to stand with
Madison. I have no doubt Hillary would like to eliminate the perjury statutes as well.
These attacks on the impeachment process and the Electoral College are attacks on the
Constitution. It should come as no surprise that within a two-year period, the
impeachment clauses and the Electoral College are being disparaged by the left. Both
are intended as checks on precisely the kind of lawlessness and demagoguery that is
Clinton and Gore.
And when the Senate refuses to uphold the rule of law, as it did two-years ago, it
damages itself. So, in addition to unconstitutional Executive Orders, which are intended
to circumvent Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution, Clinton's agencies are now spewing
out regulations demanded by the Big Unions and the radical environmentalists. Neither
Clinton nor these agency heads have any fear of thumbing their noses at Congress.
None.
"The Clinton administration is expected to issue workplace safety regulations next week
that are vehemently opposed by business groups and that defy congressional
Republicans, whose concern about the rules was a stumbling block to an agreement on
a final federal budget."
It goes on, "The new rules have been pushed by organized labor, which helped deliver
millions of voters for Democratic candidates in Tuesday's election."
On August 25th, the Washington Post reports: "Mindful that Republicans could occupy
the White House in less than six months, the Clinton administration is working feverishly
to issue a host of new regulations supported by environmentalists and other
liberal-leaning groups opposed by many business and industry organizations."
We have government by fiat. And there's nothing the Senate can do about it right now,
due to its own lack of resolve during impeachment. That was the key moment when the
rule of law was rejected. And now Bill Clinton and his party are emboldened. There's little
to stop them from what they're doing. What are we going to do? Impeach Clinton again?
Remove him from office? Of course not. He's an unchecked president now...
