"You're making the assumption that the Senate is going to remove him from office - I hardly think so. The trial may find him guilty, but the penalty will probably be a censure with his fate handed to criminal trials post-term. " No I don't think the Senate will get 2/3 of the vote and I think he wil be censured...isn't that punishment as well? Still haven't heard a suggestion that would punish Clinton enough and give us quality leadership the American people and the world can trust...

k The trial may find him guilty, but the penalty will probably be a censure with his fate handed to criminal trials post-term. Nope. Can't be done. You're making the same constitutional mistake that Rep. McCollum made Saturday. (McCollum broke in minutes later to recant.) If, following a House impeachment, the President is found guilty in a Senate trial, he must be removed from office. They have no choice. The Senate wields discretion only on whether, in addition to removal, the guilty party should be barred from ever again holding a public office/positon of trust. That's it. ian
