>>He must have committed a High Crime or a High Misdemeanor.
.

That's not an acceptable reading. Misdemeanor is not modified by "high" as you imply.

Btw, I agree with what Jonathan Turley, Professor of Constitutional Law said on Meet the Press this morning, that it is simply foolish to argue that lying under oath by a President before a Federal grand jury investigating criminal activity is not an impeachable offense. Of course it is.

Clinton lied under oath. He committed perjury. He maneuvered subordinates so they would unwittingly lie under oath. That's the highest attack there can be on our system of justice. And by a President whose oath of office requires him to uphold the law of the land.

The perjury statute has no exception if the perjury tangentially concerns sex. In fact the Federal perjury statute was modified in recent years to include not just overt lying, but also a failure to tell the complete truth.

>> Most legally educated observers seem to essentially agree with that already.


The same ones who said the Supremes wouldn't allow the Jones case to go forward? Whoops 9-0. The same ones that said Starr was wrong on all the privilege claims by the WH? Whoops. 15-1

Clinton is easily impeachable. I want to see a Dem Senator argue that lying under oath before a Federal grand jury is not an impeachable act. No, he's going to be gone, by either resignation or removal.
