You bring a country down by not punishing obvious wrongdoing by its highest executive officer... JLA

You do not think that the good order of government would have continued under President Gore?

At some point, this stops being about Clinton and becomes about our country, which, duh, is more important than Clinton. So if you make it to President, you get to do anything you choose? Pardon me, I take exception to that. This is a country of laws, not men, I've heard. Impeachment is a unique mechanism designed for Presidents who engage in treason or election fraud, not carjacking or sexual harassment. Wrong. "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Carjacking certainly and arguably perjury fall under "high crimes and misdemeanors". The intent was that the President would also be subject to the law. Keep in mind a sitting President cannot be indicted. To get the cuffs on him, you must first impeach him, THEN he can be indicted, arrested, and tried. At least one of the parties should have played the grown-up with so much at stake. Yes. And it should have been Clinton. He caused the problem.

Fair for Clinton. At some point, this stops being about Clinton and becomes about our country, which, duh, is more important than Clinton. You can't bring a country down by disgracing and replacing an admiral. Life goes on. You also don't bring a country down by impeaching the president (unless the country is about to fall apart anyway). It could even be argued that impeaching a president who has violated the law strengthens the country as it shows that no one is above the law. Tim
