“how must our American soldiers feel to have their Commander in Chief under attack while they are engaged in battle? They have the right to feel betrayed and undermined. Today we are here in the people's House debating the partisan impeachment of the President of the United States of America while the Commander in Chief is managing a crisis and asking world leaders for support. This is indeed a Republican coup d'etat. Mr. Speaker, Americans all, the Republicans will couch this extremist radical anarchy and pious language which distorts the Constitution and the rule of law. Bill and Hillary Clinton are the real targets, and the Republicans are the vehicles being used by the right wing Christian Coalition extremists to direct and control our culture. The rule of law has been violated in denying the President notice of charges, by the abuse of power in the collecting of so-called evidence and the denial of the presumption of innocence. President Clinton is not guilty of the trumped up charges presented in these four articles of impeachment. Yes, Bill Clinton is guilty of certain indiscretions in his private life. However, he did not commit high crimes and misdemeanors. Rather the President is guilty of being a populist leader who opened up government and access to the poor, to minorities, to women and to the working class. President Bill Clinton is guilty of not being owned by the good ole southern boys or the good ole eastern establishment.”
