jbe,
Good post. I still think the OIC law is good.
It keeps our politicians clean. It keeps our
system of government fair. I think the points
by former OIC Lawrence Walsh are good: That
the OIC investigations should be limited to
conduct while in office. This would clear out
the Whitewater investigation but no others on
Bill Clinton's tail. Corruption is the worst
disease any democracy can face. If people lose
faith in the legal institutions, their laws, and
their leaders, the next stop is revolution or
civil war. The United States is 222 years old
this year. Lets hope that this great nation of
laws shall not perish from the earth. I love
being an American. It inspires pride in me. When
I see the flag, I see respect for the law, the
government, the nation, and its people. In asking
that our politicians be faithful to the law and
the Constitution, we ensure that our legacy will
be passed onto our children and that their future
in a great, respected nation is granted. In that
light, I would say that if I was in the United
States Senate this Spring, and I was heading up
to the podium to cast my vote for impeachment of
the President, I would say I was sorry for what
Bill Clinton has brought upon himself, his family,
his party, and his Nation, but that I could not
vote for breech of the Constitution. I would have
to vote for impeachment because it simply cannot
be tolerated that anyone, not even the President,
can lie under oath in a court of law. There simply
would be no other option for me.
-John
