But impeachment is a political process and conviction was hopeless once Newt and the boys lost seats in November.

Dude do you understand that ONLY SENATORS can vote to acquit or convict in an impeachment trial. This is the result of the Senate elections of 1998.

The balance of the Senate remained unchanged at 55-45 in favor of the Republicans.

LOL. Are you really that naive or are you pulling my leg? Senators of both parties smelled the political winds and knew there would be no repercussions for acquittin Clinton. Two Republican Speakers of thr House had just resigned and under Newts leadership the House lost seats and my opinion is that they lost because our side was only getting a small percentage of Newts capabilities.

:-) That was rich though, the lesson on impeachment. Thanks for the chuckle.
