Re: "Our republic has a few people in positions of enormous and relatively unchecked power: actually,
the Supreme Court is the only example that comes to mind right away"

Actually the power of the Supreme Court is checked by the ability of Congress to pass new laws and (with the States) to amend the Constitution. It is also constrained by the fact that the Judicial Branch has no method of enforcing its decisions. It must rely on the Executive Branch to do that.

Give me a break Ken Starr does not work for the republicans....They did not dictate his investigation...he had good reason to think that Clinton lied under oath...which he did....as long as Clinton denied it, Starr had to prove it....now everyone is crying about the proof...this is a bunch of bull...the guy committed a crime and he is the president of the USA....you just can not sit back and do nothing....you have to stand up for what is right...

Now I do agree with you on the independent council....I think that it should be abolished.....we need to have learned something from all of this....but don't try to stand there and blame all of this on the republicans........
