Andrew Johnson is giggling, to be sure. I would guess that only other Impeached Prez is laughing at us. Don’t we see the futility of it all. Take the long range look at the situation Johnson faced, and history has declared him to be a victim. A victim of politics, not a vicitim of a justice system.
And whether Clinton is found guilty by the two articles of impeachment that cleared the House, or not, I think history will show this as being ‘those lower-class representatives in the house got all ganged up on the president’ and not much more.
The House had the ability to say let’s make the punishment fit the crime. They didn’t.
America is politically off-balance. Revolution anyone?
