The Supreme asshole threatens again to use EO

No, they impeached Clinton for perjury. Lying about a BJ.

I know, but I was stating how trivial the whole ordeal was... who gives a shit if he cheated on his wife- there are worse things one can do as POTUS to get impeached, but it's not happening, like now for instance.

He is doing what he does best, circumvent the written law, spitting on the constitution and all those who want to uphold the constitution.

As with all before him. He however has taken it to a new level.

Getting old... clearly not ALL before him. I understand G.W. Bush stole your college GF and you have a personal vendetta against him, but I don't know how you can lump every president before him as someone who spits on our Constitution.

Actually, they impeached Clinton for attempting to subvert the justice system. Lying under oath was one aspect of it but he attempted to manipulate the justice system to deny a citizen the right to due process. The fact he did it because he wanted to avoid the political consequences of it coming to trial right before the 1996 elections was the key factor, not whether he got a BJ or cheated on his wife. That's just more of the Democrat spin that got him off the hook with the American public. I guarantee you very few of the Republicans in favor of impeachment cared about his infidelities and a lot of them voted for impeachment reluctantly because they guessed at the future political damage of even going to trial with it. They went on with impeachment because a President subverting the justice system and lying under oath to deny a citizen the right of due process is NOT trivial.

Nixon had to resign because he tried to cover up political operatives breaking in to a Democratic Party office to gain political intelligence -- hell, he wasn't even directly involved until after it happened. The Republicans gave him up because they recognized that what he did was wrong -- something the Democrats have never ever admitted or done with Clinton's or Frank's or Waters' misdeeds. I'm annoyed and offended that people still repeat the "impeached for sex" BS 15 years later.

As an aside, this shows how even "conservatives" pick up the lying trash spread by the mainstream media.
