Thomas-

<<Since about 75% of the publics polled are for stopping these proceedings against our president it is obvious that the will of the people is not being carried out.>>

What, may I ask, does that have to do with it? This happens to be a search for justice and what is best for the nation, not a popularity contest. As I've said before on this thread, the essence of representative democracy is that the popular will is mediated by institutions. According to the view of certain individuals responsible for setting up the government of this nation (do the names Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and George Washington ring a bell?)a legislator is not in office simply to mirror what 75% of people think at any given moment. In fact, these gentlemen were highly suspicious of the popular will.

You seem to think by smearing your opponents ("The more rabid the rhetoric") you can dismiss the charges. Oh well, I guess that's easier than defending a president whose defenders on Capital Hill now say he should be merely censored.

P.S. Do you really think perjury and obstruction of justice should be accepted by the President of the United States, or do you simply deny your boy engaged in anything so nefarious? Or do you simply ignore the issue as being too taxing to the brain?
