<<The Constitutional checks and balances are getting tossed out>> This is an alarmist and incorrect statement. Not one constitutional check or balance has been even remotely threatened by this investigation. IMHO, there is no chance at all that Clinton will actually be removed from office over Monicagate. The only way that could happen is if 12 Democrats (27% of the total in the Senate) agree that he should be removed. Unlikely at best - see, the checks and balances work. <<What is happening is an effort to criminalize being a Democrat by the Republican Congress>> This is not true any more than its opposite was true during the Nixon hearings. The House hearings will always be partisan. If you go back to the Nixon hearings, you will see that the Democrats pushed through (along party lines) an unlimited investigation, with no time limits, and a statement that a definition of what constituted grounds for impeachment would not be decided until after the House investigation had been held. That is exactly what is being done now (also along party lines) by the Republicans. It didn't ruin the country then and it won't now.
