What a difference a few years makes. Remember back to the repugnant frothfest that went on in the days of Cigargate? Well, just in case you don’t, Joseph Palermo reminds us in a blogging on Huffington Post:

What Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairs Said About the Importance of Impeaching President Clinton

The Republican Representative from Wisconsin, James Sensenbrenner, Jr., who most recently chaired the House Judiciary Committee in the Republican-dominated Congress, and will now be its ranking member, said of the necessity of impeaching President Clinton: “What’s at stake here is the rule of law. Even the president of the United States has no right to break the law. If the House votes down this inquiry . . . nothing will happen. The result will be a return to the imperial presidency of the Nixon era, where the White House felt the laws did not apply to them, since they never would be punished. That would be a national tragedy of immense consequences.”

I hope he’s reminded of those words repeatedly over the next few months.
