JBL, thanks for the article...This passage is what I've seen mostly discussed by reasonable people who don't believe the President should be impeached. <<<A cornerstone of this argument was the assertion that Kenneth Starr's case against Clinton did not concern an offense against the people but was only about a personal failing. It was not about crime; it was about sex, and only sex.>>> Let's think about this... Bribery is a personal crime. You could argue that certain kinds of bribery wouldn't be an offense against the constitution or the country. If a politician bribed a local official for votes. Who is really hurt? How about if they were bribed with campaign contributions to change their vote in Congress? Yet, bribery is clearly laid out as an impeachable offense in the Constitution. Why? I would suggest that perjury is a far worse crime than bribery. Accepting perjury destroy's the foundation the legal system is built on. Does bribery? I would also suggest offering a job to Lewinsky in return for lying in court was a form of bribery. Interesting how you rarely hear this line of reasoning discussed. Michael
