The only conduct that merits the drastic remedy of impeachment is that which subverts our system of government or renders the president unfit or unable to govern.

The longer the president goes without telling his side of the story, the more unease there will be in the public.

Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; it's a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation.

There's always cause for concern if bad policies are pursued.

This is a generation weaned on Watergate, and there is no presumption of innocence and no presumption of good intentions. Instead, there is a presumption that, without relentless scrutiny, the government will misbehave.

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

Too often, our concern for specific individuals today means neglecting crises that will harm countless people in the future.

What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible.

Most of what we report from Congress they don't care about unless it affects them directly.

This issue, if not addressed, leaves any President, including George Bush, open to the criticism that they are essentially ignoring the destruction of the nation and I believe that with all my heart.
