"Under the standards set by Starr?" How so?

Impeachment is unique to the executive branch. In the House and Senate there are a number of remedies. Censure is not an option for the President.

If it was indeed "statutory rape", then Crane should have been prosecuted. If your facts are right, then I would agree that the punishment did not fit the crime. I must also tell you that my impression of Mr. Hyde until yesterday was that he had shown some sympathy for the President but acknowledged the matter was something Congress could not take lightly. I don't know how anyone could expect the Chairman of Judiciary to react any differently. I doubt very much Clinton will be able to make a "plea bargain" at this point. JLA
