Lexis Nexis is awesome.

Personally I hate westlaw, and am baffled that people not only use, but prefer, it.

That could be because the formatting of the printed versions is so much better from Lexis, and Lexis is much less of a pain to set up to be constantly logged in on.

Another Lexis fan here.

I figured it might be me, since I was one of the first people on the first remote terminal in Atlanta back in 1980 (at the District Court). But I can't stand WestLaw and don't understand why people use it.

How about a query into why the Founding Fathers decided that impeachments should be tried by the Senate -- one of the political branches? Why not let congress as a whole impeach, and then have a jury trial (with jurors drawn from a national pool)? There is prejudice inherent in delegating to a political branch such authority -- and, unlike Senators, most ordinary folks do not have a horse in the race.

Then I would, of course, I would look at the Clinton case and determine whether a jury of reasonable people would have convicted, which would have changed history.
