OT: You imply that Congress has the higher moral ground. You also imply that a man should be asked under oath extremely personal questions that have nothing to do with abuse of power, but merely smear his reputation. I think the President should have punched Star in the nose and walked out when the question was broached. I believe the people of this country should be furious that a man in the President's position should be subjected to this sort of personnel abuse. I feel my rights to good government were violated when the question was asked. I also think Macarthy was wrong. Your ideas of protecting democracy are misguided. I would much rather know why the CIA was involved in drug trading, selling weapons to Iran and sales of public assets for bargains to friends. Were you also calling for Reagan's resignation on moral ground? What really motivates people's thinking? As much as you may not like adultery, it is not illegal here. I suggest Bill Clinton would be in trouble in a country governed by Koranic law. But our constitution says the church and state is separate. Maybe you would rather have good government from a moral country like Malaysia, Indonesia, Iran, etc.? No, I don't want to see pictures of the President on sitting on the toilet, or Hillary swimming naked in a pool. I don't care. It appears that opinions agree. Recently, Daniel Ortega was accused by his step daughter of abusing her for 19 years from the time she was 11. His government is trying to decide whether he can retain political immunity. I think he should be tried assuming the evidence is strong enough. This is an example of a broken law. But you still have to worry if the accuser is acting for political motivations. Just going to trial can destroy a politician. Some people would say get him. He's bad. Doesn't matter if he did it or not. The whole thing is a sad affair. It is not worthy of a nation which thinks it should lead the world. But, you are right, there is a precedent here. I hate it. I feel abused. There is no good coming from any of this. Regards, Mark
