Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the Senate Judiciary chair, fresh from battle with Bill Gates, warning darkly that Congress could be entertaining the Clinton matter soon if the commander in chief turns down the chance to testify. But as Hatch's fellow committee member and GOP luminary Arlen Specter told CNN, "I rechecked the Constitution. I do not believe ignoring a subpoena would be grounds for impeachment."
