I find it so amazing how you and others keep trying to blame Starr for this whole mess. In 1978, it was a Democrat Congress that wrote the Independent Counsel law and a Democrat President that signed it into law! It was the Democrats that used the Independent Counsel law against the Republicans about 60 times during their 12 years in the White House. It was THIS Democrat President that renewed this law (the Republicans have always opposed this law and opposed Clinton renewing it) and it was a Democrat Attorney General that requested an Independent Counsel to look into Whitewater and it was this same DEMOCRAT ATTORNEY GENERAL that expanded his investigation to cover Monica. Why aren't you mad at Janet Reno too? Or why aren't you mad at the Democrats for writing this law in the first place?

Rehnquist is no right wing reactionary. His Court has been a real disappointment to them. JLA

Hiram, I agree, however, must remind you that the Independent Prosecutor was first used by the Democrats during the Reagan/Bush years.....now the Repubs have turned the weapon on them......a pox on both their houses:o) We need to have 3 priorities from now on -- vote only for those candidates who: 1) support dismantling the Independent Prosecutor's office. 2) support campaign funding reform 3) support term limits in congress(we thought we did this one the last time.)
