You have made several erroneous statements here which I have sourced documentation to dispute your argument. I see no reason to "concede" anything on those issues since you have yet to cite any legal reference to prove my argument incorrect. I have stated that as a matter of opinion that reasonable people can disagree about what issues constitute impeachable offences. The Constitution is vague enough in that regard to leave it an open question to be determined, hopefully, after a full airing of the facts. My own personal conclusion upon reading the entire Starr Report and watching Clintons entire GJ testimony is that he committed several perjuries, he obstructed justice, and tampered with witnesses. I also personally believe that those are extremely serious crimes and are worthy of consideration by our Congress for articles of impeachment. I have also stated that I think it is extremely sad that this President felt compelled to trample over the constitutional rights of a private citizen for a fair trial by resorting to these acts which are of course, felonies. At the point where Clinton was made aware that Lewinsky was on the witness list (Dec. 6) according to his testimony, he simply could have gone to his attorneys and asked them to settle the Jones case. He uses "protecting" his family as an excuse to lie, yet the very simple option of settling the case, thus precluding any further delving into his "private" sexual encounters with a WH employee, was never pursued. He made the choice to proceed, knowing full well the potential damage to himself, his family and yes this country if Lewinsky gave truthful testimony. You really have to wonder about the judgement of this person to put so much at risk for what most would consider a "nuisance" lawsuit. Something is seriously wrong with this president's mental processes, he seems truly dysfunctional, with a unbelievably destructive bent which has brought this country to a near standstill as it relates to his ability to govern. bp
