I said anniverary of the impeachment, meaning the vote of the House on the Articles of Impeachment, which then led to the trial, which did not go through. 2. I'm not clear: what is your point here? Yes, it was a huge waste of time and distraction for little reason other than an apparent disrespect by the Republicans for our electoral process. Clinton was and still is a popular President. This was an attempt to circumvent his election. 3. Again, the impeachment circus was a distraction from the business of government, should never have happened, was based on trivial details. Today, with Bush there are certainly crimes committted (signing statements, warrentless wiretapping, etc., etc.), which are ample reason to bring articles of impeachment, whether or not there is a reasonable expectation the Senate will convict, if for no other reason than to bring the Exectutive branch back to the rule of law in this country. katiiis:
