Political Quotes

“equal justice means two things. First, every citizen, including the least powerful, like the plaintiff in the first civil case in which President Clinton perjured himself, has a right to demand truthful testimony under oath even when the defendant is the President. Secondly, equal justice requires adherence to the rule of law by all Americans, including the most powerful. Further, equal justice requires accountability by those who have committed perjury. In this case, accountability for perjury is provided by the constitutional remedy of impeachment. I am going to vote for impeachment against President Clinton because he committed perjury before a court and a grand jury. For us to do less might be a little more comfortable in the short term, but I think it would do permanent damage to our ideals of equal justice and constitutional government.”
