As if the Senate is the fount of wisdom and philosophy on this stuff.
Joe, you picked the one senator most easily bought by special
interests.

I stopped listening to Byrd years ago. He should have retired along
with Helms before I turned 10. And because of his reputation I have no
doubt that he'd never have uttered those words had this time and
situation come during the Clinton years.

Well, they are our elected reps, and they do form the basis for our government,
so I think they have a say in this, don't you?  Or do you think the president
should run the whole show and everybody else should just shut up?

Checked the White House lately?

Too bad, because he's the one constitutional scholar that even the most
conservative Republicans respect.

He was one of the first to speak out about the Lewinsky situation,
however...and in not flattering terms to Clinton.

Have you ever considered knowing a bit more about your subject area?
