>>> >>If you weren't willing to impeach Reagan during
Iran-Contra, a true constitutional crisis, why all the hullabaloo over this?

That was no Constitutional crisis, that was a policy difference.
<<<

When the Administration violates a federal law specifically written to restrain them from taking a particular action, that's a constitutional crisis.

When they use the intelligence services in that violation of the law, that's a constitutional crisis.

When they illegally and secretly sell arms to our most virulent terrorist enemy to prop up a clearly failed policy and then indulge in theft of assets derived from that in a series of actions clearly requiring an illegal conspiracy to conduct, that is a constitutional crisis.

When the DEA is instructed not to interdict particular figures insomuch as they are furthering this cabal in it's aims, that is a constitutional crisis.

If the Republican Senate endeavors to protect the central figures with grants of immunity so as to disable the Judiciary, the third branch of government, that is a constitutional crisis.

When an ex-actress runs the country, occassionally through her senile husband's 'hearing aid', that is a constitutional crisis.

You don't see any constitutional crisis there. But you think getting a BJ from a pretty and aggressive young thing is one. Now that is shamelessly stupid.

Cheers,
Chaz
