13. But Congress has chosen to ignore reality, logic, law, facts and the Const
"The "due process" argument is just another in a long line of twisted shit spewed by republicans since they started going after Clinton."

And the thing that is interesting about that, which occurred in the Clinton impeachment hearings in the house and none of the media picked up on, was the Democrats pushing for a censure. The Republicans were adamant about not allowing that and for good reason, looking at it from there view.

If the R's had of allowed a censure it would have in effect created a bill of attainder, which I believe is an issue with the Schiavo vote tonight, and would have been ruled unconstitutional by the Supremes. Hence why the Democrats were pushing for it, would have been a slam-dunk.

However, I guess all that has changed now.
