Michael, the last and concluding sentence in the paragraph which you highlighted a part of in the argument on impeachment by Hamilton is "... and in such cases there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt." Gee, how could you miss that? exchange2000.com

Michael, an interesting sentence from Alexander Hamilton (thanks for posting that, btw): "The necessity of a numerous court for the trial of impeachments, is equally dictated by the nature of the proceeding. This can never be tied down by such strict rules, either in the delineation of the offense by the prosecutors, or in the construction of it by the judges, as in common cases serve to limit the discretion of courts in favor of personal security." There you go. Alexander Hamilton believed that an impeachment inquiry "can never be tied down by strict rules, either in the delineation of the offense...or in the construction of it by judges, as in common cases." Yet the Dems call for the inquiry to be limited to Monica-gate, with a specific time frame, calling anything else to be a "fishing expedition". Perhaps the current Clinton supporters would do well to heed the advice of the FF Alexander Hamiliton, in his letter to New York, discussing impeachment process designed at the convention, and urging NY ratification of the Constitution.
