Many of the people bitching about illegal immigrants ARE racist. They use this as a cover. Thumper |

Anyone who consider's Clinton's impeachment to have been based on "legitimate charges" is living out in the never-never land of the far right. You're right, of course. What is wrong is the system is inappropriate for today's United States. The people want the ability to recall the president. Had the people had that power, both Clinton and Bush would have been removed from office. Oh sure. Clinton had a 68% approval rating after his impeachment. Thumper |

What are the charges? Remember, these have to be legitimate charges, instances where he broke US law. Wikipedia has a nice list of potential charges: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movemen...Bush#Rationale s_for_impeachment The ones that potentially involve explicit violations of US law: 1) Warrantless surveillance (violates FISA). 2) Violations of the UN Charter (remember, treaties are US law). 3) Violations of the Geneva Convention (ditto). 4) Commuting Libby's sentence (if done to prevent Libby from turning state's evidence, it represents obstruction of justice). 5) Politicization of the United States attorney offices, in a scheme possibly involving voter suppression and a subsequent coverup. 6) Signing statements (the executive is not allowed to rewrite laws). As of this week, you'll almost certainly be able to add to that willfully ignoring subpoenas lawfully issued by the US Congress. If the political will was there to impeach, any of the above could serve as a constitutionally valid justification. Remember, impeachment doesn't function according to a "reasonable doubt" standard; it functions according to whatever standard Congress wants. [snip] Then why aren't the Democrats instituting impeachment proceedings? Could it be that they feel that having Chaney as Pres would be out of the frying pan and into the fire? They don't have the votes. Republicans can block it. Thumper |

Those of us who have lived in California all or lives have, for the most part, lived and gotton along with Latinos quite well. But, that has little to do with hordes of illegals, primarily from Mexico, coming across the border in droves. And, so some folks who are against unabated illegal immigration are racists. In the greater context of the problem, that is really irrelevant to the terrible problem at hand. |

Please show me where, in any code of jurisprudence in the country where it gives a witness the right to lie under oath about anything? Please show me where, in any sensible political system, a politician will put the chief executive in a position where he might lie under oath about anything as trivial as a blow job? And use that as a reason to try to get rid of a chief executive who is doing a perfectly fine job? No politician with scruples would have done such a thing. Which types the Republican Congress perfectly. |

Had I been the judge, as I've said before, the man would have done time - starting the minute his presidency was up. There you go again! Have you NO decency, sir? More particularly, have you NO concept of the difference between an impeachment trial in Congress and a criminal trial in court? |
