Greetings all:

Check out garbage_truck's comments in post 1631. Wlat's adoration of Clinton is evidently rubbing off on him. Ole mac is now arguing Clinton's side in impeachment! Witness the apprentice following in his master's footsteps:

"The perjury count against Clinton was for lying about adultery in a deposition during a civil lawsuit that stemmed from an incident that occurred before he was elected President. This misconduct did not flow from his holding the office of President of the United States, in fact one could argue that the civil suit for sexual harassment was brought against him only because he was POTUS. It should become quite clear to someone who is even mildly objective, that were some serious constitutional questions about whether Clinton's crimes should be considered 'high' or 'petit'. I would further argue that recent events involving the plaintiff in that case make the 'petitness' of the misconduct even more apparent." - mac_truck, post #1631

In the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton noted that an impeachable offense is one that involves "the abuse or violation of some public trust" and "relate[s] chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself."

Under those standards, most Republicans in the House of Representatives concluded, Clinton did commit impeachable offenses by lying under oath and obstructing justice in the independent counsel's investigation of his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Does this mean they've elevated X42 to demi-god status?
