...compared himself to both the Lone Ranger and George Washington, and he wrapped himself in Justice Louis Brandeis when he insisted that he too was a servant of "facts, facts, facts." Over and over he said that Congress had to rely on its own "judgment" in deciding whether to impeach--a fact so obvious that the more he said it the more it sounded as if he had trouble believing...
...Husband Skied into a Tree, so She Took His Job, Changed Her Hair and Tried to Impeach the President. This hypothetical song title may sound crass, but don't be surprised if it's the next hit for country star Brian Prout, of the band Diamond Rio, Congresswoman MARY BONO's new boyfriend. For a person with no prior political experience, Bono has generated some of D.C.'s juiciest headlines. Her latest jaw dropper comes from an interview she granted political rag TV Guide, in which she claims her late husband's addiction to prescription pain killers...
Half a dozen House Republicans, including conservative rebel Mark Souder of Indiana, have already said that on the basis of present evidence they would not vote to impeach. New York Representative Peter King says "at least 35 or 40" of his fellow Republicans feel the same way. If he's right, and most of Washington thinks so, then even if articles of impeachment are voted out of Hyde's committee, they would die in the full House. And though tension in the Persian Gulf is abating, this week's hearings might still take place under the threat of a real...

That brush with oblivion he blames in part on the fact that his position on the Judiciary Committee required him to second very publicly his party's pro-impeachment line. Two other G.O.P. members who could vote with...
...sound crazy to some, but Specter's solution has already gained more currency among Republicans than any other impeachment alternative -- such as Gerald Ford's public rebuke plan, or the White House-favored "censure-plus." Even Henry Hyde had to admit the senator was "ahead of the curve," although he added that nothing would halt his committee's impeachment probe before Ken Starr has a chance to speak on November 19. Still, with at least five Republican representatives having come out publicly against impeachment over the past few days, GOP lawmakers no longer have the votes in the House...
