I actually believe that moral principles are not a necessary condition here. In fact - part of my whole argument has been that the invocation of moral principles goes hand in hand with the exclusion of moral dissenters. This injures the pluralist ideal, which I hold dear.

Legal principles oughtta be enough. Imho Mr. Clinton is placed in sufficient jeopardy of impeachment by simply applying the code of secular law, i.e. punishing perjury. We can do this without becoming a masked theocracy.
