Is Congess Out Of Control??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think we should be concerned when we see an important vote on whether to Impeach a President come down on party lines... All the Democrats vote one way and all the Republicans vote another way... This means that the hearings meant nothing because each Congressperson voted strictly along party lines... This can't be considered fair and just... How can any of these representatives of the people say they voted strictly on the facts? Whatever we may think of Clinton's actions, the Judiciary hearings were strictly political... The U.S. Constitution protects the rights of the few... It was meant to err on the side of protecting individual rights... This is why there is a separation of Church and State, and a person is considered innocent until proven guilty... This is also why cases have been thrown out where an abuse by law enforcement authorities violated a person's constitutional rights... What we are seeing is a President under the microscope of a partisan Congress... The most powerful person in the world is at the mercy of a partisan process... What chance would you or I have with this type of scrutiny directed against us??? Imagine if juries in criminal trials voted based on party affiliation rather than the facts of the case... That's what the Judiciary committee just did... We are entering a new era of the Salem Witch Hunt where the party in power will be able to reverse the results of an election... There is not one person alive that doesn't have some type of skeleton in their closet that can be blown out of proportion in an inquisition process... Does this mean that we'll elect nice guys/gals like Jimmy Carter in the future??? It's a nasty world out there... We need leaders that are able to use their dark side when dealing with the Saddam Hussein's of the world but are genuinely good people that have faults like the rest of us... Hopefully the whole Congress will do what's right for the American people and not vote along partisan lines... The future of America hangs in the balance... Jim
