My prediction .... Slick Willie will not resign voluntarily. He has too much ego and too slick. Starr dog will continue nipping on his heels. Democrats will shun away from being asssociated with Slick Willie. Most of those who don't shy away, will lose their elections. Slick will reconsider at that time, and will be under a lot of pressure. He will likely resign in December. Too embarrassing to make the next State of the Union address. Otherwise the State of the Union will be a joke. Can you imagine Slick Willie on your TV? Wouldn't you be laughing and having some other thoughts? Nobody will listen to him anymore. Slick Willie will be exhaled from the office, whether he likes it or not. I just hope he still has some decency left in him and resign now.

Bubba, Although I agree with you on the contention that Mr. Clinton should resign from office, it would not absolve him of responsibility for his crimes. However, it would be far less damaging to the country as a whole than either his impeachment or his finishing his term of office. His impeachment would require The House of Representatives to divert from their present business and spend considerable time debating. For him to continue in office would set a dangerous precedent, allowing future presidents the option to commit crimes with impunity. It not only is the right, but it is the duty of The House to institute impeachment proceedings. Their is no matter of opinion there, the Constitution is very clear about that and every one of them has sworn an oath to uphold The Constitution, and through that document, the Rule of law. Article II, Section 4. "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." Direct and calculated Perjury and/or Obstruction of Justice (the gathering of exchanged presents constitutes evidence tampering in anyones book) definitely qualify as grounds for impeachment. Even if every individual in this country felt he was justified in committing these crimes, the only action to support him at the country's disposal comes in the sentencing phase of his trial. We are not allowed to dismiss the charges without a trial, no matter how painful it may be to the country. Freedom has a price, as many already know, and we must pay the price for our our freedom by insisting upon adherence to the very document that that represents and protects it. SH
