Very substantive debate technique there, K. The kind I've come to expect from you.

I have a hard time with injustice, Daniel, and especially the kind that puts some lying, adulterous slime like Bill Clinton above the laws I have to live with.

I'm touched by your special sense of injustice, K. Personally, I have a hard time with the fact that of the hundreds of billions that evaporated in the S&L fiasco, the only matter that merited much scrutiny was the $66 million McDougal S&L. And McDougal paid plenty for that one, under the Starr system of justice. Most people have had enough of that peculiar justice system. If you want to push for more of that kind of "justice", be my guest. Write your congressman, tell him more BJgate, not less, is what the people want! If enough good Republicans make themselves heard in that matter, I'm sure it will improve the party's prospects immensely in the next election.

The President, in this world, can get away with adultery. Lying about it after being caught and thus slandering his accusers may still go beyond the pale. The effect of his lies on his accusers is what violates his oath to the constitution. It simply IS impeachable. The notion of a President allowing untold honest women to be vilified due to his own failure to fess up; An American president allowing citizens to suffer from his own unnecessary lies. Pointing his finger and lying while on the job speaking to the people- it violates his oath of office! All of this lying violates his oath! It's repugnant to all political parties! The sex alone, properly fessed up to, would slip by in this world- but that's not his problem now. His problem is he is STILL lying and failing to fess up, and few of us on this thread seriously doubt that. Was it once with Jennifer F. or a 12 year affair? Did Kathleen Willey lie? Has he no recollection of being rejected by Paula? Acchhh! In this he said/she said affair, his credibility is shot. The Senate should convict. Being forgiving of lying about sex is not appropriate anymore- he continues to lie when caught even though he ought to know noone can now believe him. Oddly this begins to cease to affect the reputation of his accusers since few believe him, yet he still lies as though he hopes they WONT be believed in the end. The imbecility of this ought to make us all want him gone. He is clearly deluded at this point.
But this is just me, always ready to give a fair shake where it's due!
