"I'd prefer to see us solve the problem," Lieberman told reporters.


So, you can't solve the problem AND hold a United States President accountable to actully OBEY THE LAW?!

Yes, yes, I know this isn't going to fo anywhere, but God Bless Feingold. At war or at peace, we are first and foremost a nation of laws, not men. If congress gives any President a total green light to break the law, it will have thrown away one of the most basic principles on which the nation is founded.

I'll accept that the question of if the law has been broken is arguable. I don't see how, but I'll give that. So the question MUST go to the courts. Anything less says we have given te President the right to at very least follow only their own interpretation of the law without regard to any judicial standard and at worst to simply disobey the law at will.

My God, congress realized it was importnat not to allow Clinton to get away with perjuring hislef over lying about a blow job during sworn testimony on a real estate deal, and I agreed! It is important to the very structure of American Democracy that the President NOT BE ALLOWED TO BREAK THE LAW!

This makes me so damn angry.
