<"...There are felonies and there are felonies, and while self-righteous people can hold up their chins and say "The law is the law", the fact remains that some felonies hurt people and others don't.">

I see. So, which government agency is in charge of deciding which felonies require action because they "hurt people", and which felonies can be ignored because they "don't" (hurt people) ?

Is that something that should be decided by taking a poll, perhaps?

Wouldn't you think that if the authors of the laws relating to the felonies in question thought there should be some "exceptions" or "qualifiers" to the law, they would have included them in the law ?

"...Common sense tells me that having Clinton removed from office would be more harmful to our country then letting him finish out his term, despite the widely-held belief (one that I don't share) that he is guilty of committing one or more felonies."

What you term as "common sense", I view as seriously flawed logic. But then, if you truly believe Slick committed NO crime, then I'm afraid logic means absolutely nothing to you.

Sad.
