-=> Quoting Robert Plett to Matt Munson <=-
 RP> First, what do you mean by admissible evidence?  Congress is not bound

 Robert, I must disagree with you to an extent. I believe that while
 Congress may not be legally bound by court rules, those rules are a
 good thing to go by, in order to ensure that they do not go of half
 cocked.
 RP> Second, the idea that a failed impeachment process would result in
 RP> slaughter of Republicans at the poles is simply unwarranted fear.  Do
 RP> you honestly think that had Nixon remained in office the DemonRats
 RP> would've been the victims of such a reaction?
 How have you reached this conclusion?
