Let's listen to Thomas Sowell, an African-American journalist, first and foremost an American! (Johnny, I'll gladly match my service record with yours, I was a VOLUNTEER in the Marine Corps. If I could only get that pussy Clinton to the Paris Island, we might be able to make a man out of "The Coward".) Mr. Sowell writes: "In the long run, we may not even be the same country any more if someone wielding the enormous powers of the presidency can violate laws with impunity, even when caught red-handed. It is no longer simply a question of what Bill Clinton did. It is a far more momentous question of what future presidents can do if Clinton escapes unscathed. That is what is in front of us and we cannot get it behind us with a deal that simply takes the case out of the headlines and off the television tube. What about de-stabilizing the presidency as an institution? Is that a consequence to be feared as well? Some have talked about "overturning an election" with a "coup d'etat." Others have claimed that impeachment and removal from office would change our whole form of government to a parliamentary system in which the chief executive serves at the pleasure of the legislators. Ironically, some of those who are talking most loudly about the dangers of a coup d'etat overturning an election were themselves attempting to do just that a quarter of a century ago during the Watergate impeachment crisis. The Democrats' Congressman John Conyers was one of them."
