<< if it is proven beyond a doubt that the Pres. committed perjury, I'll concede he should go>>
I'm curious about this one myself - if the case went to criminal court, and was decided by a jury, IMHO, Clinton would be found guilty. However, we will probably never know, since I doubt it will ever get to court. That being the case, how would you decide if Clinton committed perjury?
Funny thing is, my decision (as if Congress cares <g>) will have little to do with the perjury, but with what that (and other things)says about Clinton's character, and his ability to carry out the duties and responsibilities of his office. I still haven't made up my mind yet, since I think the issues that would be addressed by Travelgate, Chinagate and Filegate are far more germane. Hopefully we'll find out the truth about all that someday.
<<his enemies are salivating at the prospect of taking over both the White House & Congress and thereby pushing through their ultimate objective - reversing the abortion law>>
I'm sure their goal is control of all three branches of government (the next President will probably be able to nominate a couple more Supreme Court Justices), but I doubt their main goal is to abolish the abortion law. Taking over only the Congress and the White House would not have that result - however, control of all three branches would. There are also issues regarding gun-control, trade, taxes, social spending, etc., all of which are in dispute. I would say the Republicans would much rather deal with taxes and social spending than with abortion.
Assuming that Americans would put a Republican President into power along with a Republican Congress (very unlikely in my opinion), there would probably be a drastic shift in social support system in this country. Assuming that was bad, the people would correct it in the next election (only would have to put up with 2 years of it). |
