He used the powers of his office and members of his administration to attempt to deny a woman (Paula Jones) her rightful day in court.

"Laws were broken while he was in office. It matters not whether they had anything to do with his duties as President, it matters that he broke the law. Period."

Well, in fact it does matter. That's why the article of the Constitution applicable in this matter quotes English common law by using the phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors", as opposed to "any crimes or misdemeanors". It then is up to the House, and then the Senate, to make the judgement as to what constitutes a "high crime".

I need to look up the origin of that phrase, to see if there are any examples in previous usage as to what's a "high crime" and what isn't.
