I have long argued many of the points in this article, and find it refreshing, to say the least, to see this man tell the truth, whatever the implcations to his party. I did not think honest Democrats existed. Zoltan - you sure this is not a hoax? (grin).

>. . . . In framing the issues to be resolved by Congress, the
statement that I drafted -- and which Rodino eloquently
delivered -- drew on a quotation from the British conservative
Edmund Burke. In the House of Commons Burke successfully
impeached mad King George III's minister, Warren Hastings,
the governor-general of the East India Co. Burke had not
impeached Hastings for the commission of a statutory crime but
for acts of political corruption that offended the "morality"
standards of England.<

And we must understand here the use of that word POLITICAL. As the federalist papers state, a crime is POLITICAL in that it assaults the public, offending some public trust.

We as a nation are about to do a remarkably destructive thing in not holding the President accountable to the Constitution for his actions. We have been corrupted by the great Corruptor.
