Generally, what are your feelings about this Bill Clinton sex scandal
with Monica Lewinsky?
This will surprise all lurkers... I could care less.
Are you OK that it happened? �Furious that it happened? �Don't care
either way? �Upset that he mostly got away with it? �Thought he should
be removed from office? � Or what???
But I do care that a President of the United States lied about it. �He
should have declared that he enjoyed it and didn't think it was anyone
else's business; but Clinton has no REAL balls ;-)

I care that a President abused his position and underlings along with his
lying.That combined with his corruption makes him unsuitable as President.

I agree that persons who engage in criminal conduct while in office,
or who permit and support criminal behavior of their support staff,
should not continue in office.

Nixon resigned under those conditions - apparently, in thsoe terms,
the last honest President.

Not really, that was just to prevent being the first President to ever
successfully be impeached.- Hide quoted text -

Don't forget about Andrew Johnson.  (1868).
Here's a list for next time...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States#Officia...

Nixon resigned becuase it was the right thing for the country.  (I
think he knew it.)
Ford pardoned him for the same reason, though it would take 25 years
for the rest of the country to come around to that way of thinking.

I'm in the rest of the country, and I can't foresee ever coming around
to that way of thinking.

My view:   Cheney should definitely be impeached, (too bad we don't
use tar and feathers anymore..)

Given the precedent, w giving cheney a midnight pardon would not be a
surprise, and would be, apparently, not legally contestable.
