Barb, Bill Clinton is no friend of mine, but neither is the narrowly Republican-dominated House of "Representatives." Public opinion polls seem to be in direct disagreement to the thinking of Henry Hyde and his band of merry cohorts. The money and time wasted on these proceedings is going to lead to nothing more than a slap on the wrist with a wet noodle for Bad Boy Billy. They know it, you know it and I know it. Remember, we are the land "Of the People, By the People, and For the People" and that will never change. Gary

Barb, who are you kidding? The will of the people has most definitely not been represented. This vote was strictly party lines, the Republicans didn't even allow the option to vote on censure. Which many poles show a majority of American people wanted. At the very minimum it should have been a option for the full house to vote on. Please don't give me the argument that censure was unconstitutional there are plenty of legal scholars who believed it was as to those who believed it wasn't. The issue of constitutionality should be decided in the supreme court, not by bunch of partisan house of representatives who were hell bent with their own private agendas. How is that almost every Republican and Democrat voted on party lines? Don't any of them think for themselves? If anything, I have the most respect for the few Republicans and Democrats who crossed party lines and voted what they truly believed, knowing their respective party is going to hang em out to dry. I would of respected and supported the Houses decision to impeach the President if the vote was partisan, but what I saw this week in the house of representatives was an utter joke with politics at its very very worst and no way represented the will of the people.
