 Clinton's Impeachment
President Clinton's so-called impeachment trial was sure-proof that the lawyers and politicians of today have set up separate laws for themselves and for everyone else.
It is supposed to be a court of law but in a court the jury has to vote on the evidence, not for their own political party or position.
This makes the trial a farce and every peace-treaty and agreement that Clinton and the Americans have signed with other nations to be of no effect because he, through his own actions, and the people through theirs have proven their word to be of absolutely no value.

Despite its predictable outcome, the impeachment trial of President Clinton is well worth studying, both for what it says about the failure of the judiciary and political institutions to respond adequately to an unprecedented situation, and what it tells us about the failures of Bill Clinton, the all-too-human occupant of the nation's highest office.
