I agree that the Independant Council is a bad idea and a misfit. I do not agree with placing public servants in a position that makes them vulnerable to illegal search and seisure under the authority of special prosecution. I believe that it is important to respect the private lives of even those politicians that you intensely dislike. It seems that a lot of Americans believe that it is a really bad time to unseat a president right now because they don't want anything to throw the economy off balance. I agree. It is a very bad time to remove a president. ( Yes, I am enjoying the best economic times of my life ) Another arguement is that the president should never been forced to answer for his behavior because it was his own business, and I agree. He was obviously not given the protection that is guaranteed to the rest of us under the law, and that is wrong. As it is he lied to us, and I cannot live with that. We should be throwing him out for being a horses butt. He could have declined to testify ( 5th Ammendment ) but he chose to lie and I cannot live with that.
