Sen. Graham: You don't even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role, because impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor in integrity to the office.
It was January 23, 1999. A younger Sen. Graham was on the Senate floor imploring his fellow senators to impeach then President Bill Clinton, for Clintons lying about his extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky. He explained that even though Kenneth Starrs pornographic novelostensibly about real estate holdings in Arkansas, but almost entirely about Clintons sexual promiscuitydidnt convict Clinton of any wrongdoing, it was clear that wrongdoings had taken place...in Lindseys mind.

Can anyone from SC explain the situation down there? Are most humans in SC clinically insane?

(22,204 posts)My family is originally from South Carolina. And certainly more than a few had a screw loose (so I can blame mine on genetics). I would say it's the same type of situation we have here in Kentucky.....most people are apolitical. They just really don't see beyond their own microcosm. So the people who are voting are MAGA's and their ilk.
Sorry.
I have neighbors from South Carolina who are the screwest racists you could imagine. And they sincerely believe that God let 9/11 happened because of gays!! Nope, not kidding you. Hyper-religious.
My family is fr E-Tenn and there's not an objective, sane one in the last two or three generations, that I know of. At least my crazy sister votes democratic.
