Really now. The House impeached Clinton. It was Spector a play actor Republican that saved Clinton when he uttered the words 'Scottish law'. The Senate refused to hold a 'trial' and show the American public the goods on Clinton. Newt's personal life had nothing to do with the Senate's unwillingness to perform its Constitutional duty.
And from the 'gossip' I have been reading and news stories since it does not sound like Newt was the only one in the House with personal problems. WHY did Paxton leave?
What saved Clinton was the constitutional provision that you need two thirds of the Senate to vote for conviction in order to convict. He was never close to that. Spectre’s disingenuous vote meant Clinton didn’t get a majority for conviction, but the difference between not getting a 50% majority for conviction and not getting a 2/3rds majority is moot.
Spectre converted to Republican to run for office because it made it easier, and converted to Democrat later. I didn’t care for him, but Pennsylvania voters elected him many times.
I find many people in DC and out have affairs, even some of my close friends.
That doesn’t mean I have to vote for them.
