Political Quotes

“this impeachment is unfair on three counts. It is unfair to the President, whose admitted misconduct in covering up a private sexual affair cannot compare to the Nixon precedent, where high State crimes were not in doubt; it is unfair to the country, because the preference of the voters for censure of the President is being barred even from consideration; it is unfair to the people who live in this city, whose 23rd amendment constitutional right to vote for president has been denied, because they cannot vote for removal of the President. We are converting a solemn constitutional process into a petty political proceeding. The people, acting officially on November 3rd, repudiated impeachment, yet the majority has denied a vote on the public preference for censure, defying its own announced standard that no impeachment could occur without bipartisanship. The majority is headed for an incredible partisan party line vote to impeach the President. This impeachment is raw with unfairness.”
