RE: Go back to 1868 Think you're wrong about the public opinion question. Johnson was unknown to most people. Do you know his successor had he been removed? How popular was his successor? Public opinion, as always, was hardly formed. Many of the white people of the South were banned from voting. All women were banned from voting. Should they be part public opinon? Expressions about public opinion are idle speculation, at least until Gallup came along. I am particularly pleased that you can look into the consciences of dead senators and be so sure they voted them. You must win all of your jury cases. But you also seem to forget that the senators' votes are on their oaths and the Constitution permits them to vote anyway they think is right and not necessarily the way you think is right. I'll be glad to predict the way 100 senators will vote +/- 5%, and I only have to look at their party affiliations, not their consciences. I guess they can all be tried for violating their oaths (perjury) (except the ones who vote against their parties). Where will this end?
