unless you are the type of conservative who thinks that the death penalty

conservative, but nevertheless a conservative.

: The MacDougals, Gov. Tucker, and others in Whitewater don't count?

None of the above were administration employees. All Whitewater has proven
is that the Clinton's were passive partners and lost money in a somewhat
sleazy land deal. Name me one politician at Clinton's level who hasn't
engaged in questionable behavior. You don't get to that level by being a
choirboy.

Gee our memories are short. Ed Meese made any of Clinton's allgedly sleazy
assoicates lookk like Boy Scouts. Let's not forget Ollie North (oh that's
right, lying to Congress makes one a hero, I guess the heads of the
tobacco companies are heroes too, since they lied to Congress when they
swore that they did not believe nicotine is addictive). I could go on and
on.

He did.

  Nowhere did I say that the SC passed laws.  What's

you did not state your point clearly.

: The reason he tried to pack the SC was because the SC was declaring his

this is what you should have said. Call me a nitpicker if you must, but
don't expect me or others to 'know what you mean'. Too often that staement
masks ignorance. Say what you mean, don't make us try to assume it.
