What you said was, "However, we don't impeach Presidents for being immoral, we impeach them for breaking the law." So the impeachment proceedings in the House --- which are, under our Constitution, an
accusation --- were sufficient to establish the law was broken, notwithstanding the Senate trial that acquitted him? Meanwhile, elsewhere in the GOP, Oliver North was a fit candidate for the Senate because the technicality on which his criminal conviction was overturned somehow vitiated the moral reprehensibility of lying to Congress under oath?
Republicans and Clinton are like dogs and a bone.
