On the Oprah-ization of the House of Representatives... Interview with a legal scholar : salonmagazine.com Read and weep! Excerpt: Q. On Tuesday, two women who'd been convicted of perjury were brought before the committee. What was the legal significance of their testimony? A. Just when you thought it couldn't get any sillier ... That [presentation] was a big "so what?" Has any one of them been impeached? No! Had any one of them been elected by the American people? No! Is Bill Clinton subject to criminal prosecution as an ordinary citizen when he leaves office? Yes. [The women] were subject to the criminal process and [Clinton] will be too. That's just simple logic and the fact that [the Republicans] don't get that yet ... What is impeachable is a different question than what is prosecutable. Things that are prosecutable are not always "high crimes" even if they are crimes. And something doesn't even need to be a crime in order to be impeachable.
