Daniel, concern for justice is important. If there is "substantial and credible evidence" that the man committed perjury before the grand jury, he should be impeached. He was. Now it moves to the Senate for trial. Given the context of that grand jury testimony, IMHO that perjury was a high crime. IMHO, the perjury in the Paula Jones case, while a crime, wasn't a high crime. That's exactly what the House decided. I'm not happy about the circumstances, I don't like many of the actors and I do question their motives, but whatever trouble I have with how we got to this set of circumstances is a separate issue. Could I maintain the laws that I could not keep myself? That question, asked by the Roman Emperor Titus in Racine's Berenice, is how some people view the mess. I'm one of them. But yet, when I accepted the Empire, I was made by Rome to swear to uphold her rights-and this I ought to do. Our President violated his Oath of Office on the very day when the eyes of the entire country were focused on the door of that courthouse. I am willing to grant some wiggle room for the civil deposition, and maybe that's wrong and somewhat inconsistent, but IMHO he made a mockery of his Oath of Office by his actions before the grand jury that day. But in that same scene, Racine offers the following: But always with the Romans, their country and their glory won the day Regardless of the surreal events facing it, our country and its glory will win the day. Then again, if one hears of hordes of Visogoths invading from the north, maybe you start to get a little worried <g> Good trading, Tom
