Senators jockey to limit Clinton trial chicagotribune.com The president's popularity is speaking louder than his GOP critics Not around here, though, where the bleaters rule. Glad to see you engaging in the usual substantial innuendo, Michael. Evidence? Who needs it. You'd think that one or two blackmailed Republicans would be willing to come forward for the sake of "truth and justice", for the good of the country and all that. Either they're all cowards or they've all done something really, really bad. Senators aren't impressed with House admonitions to call witnesses, especially because Hyde's committee called none of the main characters and relied primarily on Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's report to impeach Clinton. "Easy for them to say," said Jim Jordan, who served as spokesman for the Democratic minority on the House Judiciary Committee, of the sudden call by House Judiciary Republicans to call witnesses before the Senate. Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) said: "I don't think that the Senate wants to hear a lot of testimony, particularly on matters that are well known. Many of us have read the Starr referral and some of us have seen the videotape before the grand jury . . . It seems to me you don't have to have a long, drawn-out ordeal of a trial to get the facts before the Senate."
