JBL,
I suggest to you that the process will be infinitely more
serious and revered than the one we have seen on the HJC and the House, because of how unique, historic and momentous it will be.
Also, the focus will no longer be on wether the HJC is fair, but rather, on wether the facts demand that Clinton remain in office, or be removed.
I think you're wrong here. If the case goes to the Senate, that is if the House approves the impeachment and it is not quashed on appeal to the Supreme Court and sent back to the new House for a vote, the trial will be just as bitter and partisan, though maybe not as childish, as it was in the HJC. Thanks in part to the White House spin machine, the fairness of the House process will be EXACTLY what Democrat Senators such as Diane Feinstein, Chuckie Schumer, Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, Russell Feingold, Ted Kennedy, and even Christopher Dodd and Joseph Lieberman will harp on with a vehemence. "We should not even be discussing this impeachment in the first place," they will say.
