Feb. 12, 1999 was the day the United States Senate failed to do its Constitutional duty. A man had committed perjury, suborned perjury, ordered others to hide evidence, intimidated witnesses, used taxpayer-paid resources to cover up. Yet, he was acquitted in his impeachment trial.
That is the day I ripped cable out of the wall and have never looked back.
That had been determined in the House. Their Constitutional function was to determine whether or not he actually DID what he was impeached for, to determine removal. Knowing they were not trying to determine these facts, it became a forgone conclusion that Slick would not be removed.
I hung in there with cable TV until Gore conceded before pulling the plug. My wife couldn't take it anymore, it was like having live streaming prostitute cameras or other filth beamed directly into the living room.
You were right to do so; the American people simply cannot understand the process of impeachment no matter how many times it is explained to them.
