Perjury Charge Is Faltering in Senate washingtonpost.com I've been paying all together too much attention to the "liberal" NYT, they seem to have missed this story altogether. The Senators just haven't been paying attention to old bleating Bobbo, I guess. As they launched a final effort yesterday to revive their losing case, House GOP prosecutors in President Clinton's impeachment trial faced an added indignity: Large numbers of senators from their own party appear unwilling to support a charge that Clinton lied about his relationship with Monica S. Lewinsky. Some GOP senators say that no more than 40 of the Senate's 55 Republicans may vote for the first of the two impeachment articles, charging perjury. They believe the House "managers" have made a much stronger case that Clinton obstructed justice by covering up his affair with the former White House intern, and expressed far greater willingness to vote for the second charge. But at least one, Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.), a conservative who has frequently voiced doubt about the managers' case, said: "I don't know if either one has measured up to the burden the House has to meet for conviction."
