> We cannot have a governmental process if anyone is above
> the law.

what's that? a government of laws, explicitely shunning the
notion of a king or ruler? not here man. we are but
children, and all that matters is that we love our daddy
no matter what.

every time I hear somebody say that the president's job
is to run the country I remember that the game
was over long before I was even born. The president's
job is supposed to be to manage the government and
to PRESIDE over the laws, which laws are appropriately
under constant review.

Should he resign? Probably not. The extreme difficulty
in deposing a president lends stability to the gov't,
which stability is worth more than the temporary satisfaction
of throwing this bum out.

[OT] Steve, i don't take it hostile. It's just my opinion and i know, it's not "mainstream".
The President is not above the law and he's not below it either. Last time i checked he was not convicted (legally). He should be treated like that for the time being.
He obviously lied to the American people. But about what ? Something very private, very embarrassing. Do you remember the "read my lips.." statement? Or Churchill's "Great Britain will defend Poland ?" Politicians lie, always have, always will.
I'm seeing lots of people applying standards they themself could never meet. Pharisaer !
I take politicians as what they are: managers. Looking at Clinton's political P&L, i'd say he has done a good job. But the PR department's performance is poor. They gave bad advice and now his achievements are buried under a pile of crap and sperm. What a shame !

I heard on Larry King today by someone that If he was in the military he would be court martialed.

What a stupid comment. He is in the military. he is the Commander in chief of all the armed forces.

WHY IS HE NOT BEING COURT MARTIALED ?
