Then you didn't understand what the impeachment was about.
Clinton was not " brought to impeachment hearings over his indiscretions"
He was impeached because he committed a federal felony.
The fifth amendment provides that we can not be force to testify against ourselves. The flip side of this is that we may NOT lie under oath. To do so undermines the whole justice system. While under oath we have two choices, tell the truth or shut up.
That's right, i forgot it was for perjury...my mistake...I never felt he should have been impeached for that either...For crying out loud we're talking about POLITICIANS!!! Every one of them could be removed from office for lying--it's in their blood...anyway...
Theoretical question for you...If, and I repeat If ( I am not saying he did or did not) our current Prez has lied about some items about Iraq do you agree or disagree with the following equations:
Lying under Oath = Perjury = Bad
Lying not under Oath = Presidential discretion = Acceptable
To me both are lies and are bad bad things.
I want to be clear, I don't think we should impeach Bush at all... I'm just curious to your opinion...
Go Twins!!!
