Polls = <<By and large the American people do approve of his performance>>.

A common foundation is the argument that because
polls approve of Clinton's job performance, he should not be impeached.

No...You did not used the word polls, but a carefull
reading of your written intent is to say opinion polls "i.e. people
approve" is stronger than the legal argument 'largely' Republicans
and 4 democrats, support in the House impeachment process.

The executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government are
unique in this country...they are co-equal. That is to say we don't
diminish the importance of a senior judge being impeached over the
president. In fact the articles of impeachment are not defined any
different for any member of government for that reason.

Reagan killing commies...you chose to argue the funding for it, not the statement itself. Again a careful read left me with the impression you were willing to let that comment stand, apparently
I was incorrect.

Again, I hear.. "in 200 years" the meaning of misdemeanors has changed
and again I challenge you to review an impeachment in 1803 and one
in the early 1900's..I'd pass on the particulars, but that is too easy.

Should I 'trust' history or your opinion on how we should feel?

Enjoy the exchange, maybe we both are learning something.

Cheers
