You may dissent but you would be wrong. Both the US Constitution and a federal statute were part of the case in the Bush election decision.

It makes no difference if it was a "bad ballot". The ballots need to be reasonably decipherable, not idiot prooof and the final proof is that the butterfly suits got tossed out and more than 97% of the voters got it right. No case. Period.

Clintons guilt was proved beyond a reasonable doubt, indeed by his own admissions. The political climate dictated his acquittal, a serious breach of Constitutional duty by the "defectors". There is no doubt that perjury, intentionally misleading a federal court, suborning or condoning perjury by others (Lewinski affidavit, attempting to deny another citizen her day in Court and misusing the office of POTUS constitutes an impeachable offense in my eyes. You differ? I don't quibble that the outcome was as it was and needs to be respected. In fact, that was my original point is that we all must respect legal results we don't like in an orderly society. I didn't like the OJ verdict either but he is a free man today just as Scumbag Clinton was allowed to finish his term.
