The Republicans are not saying public opinion does not count. They are saying that they are obligated to follow the law. Does the public want perjury and obstruction of justice to be non-crimes now? If so, I believe we need to apply the law equally and all who have been convicted of these crimes should be released and their records expunged. Also, are you saying that in the future, the rule of law should not apply and perjury or obstruction of justice should not be prosecuted. That will certainly tear up our justice system. How in the world can we effectively truth find when the freedom to lie or obstruct justice is all A-OK now? This will certainly be a fine precedent for future charges against individuals for obstruction or perjury. Made by our leader, the democrats best possible example of decorum and integrity, our President, Bill Clinton. The tragedy is that wagging the dog very possibly influenced our timely (just before Ramadan) attack on Iraq and our timely, (the day after flying off on vacation) bombings in Afghanistan and Chad. What are a few lives to make a political statement and positioning oneself as presidential?
