Frist supports impeachment of the President
Republican Senator Bill Frist made this remarkable statement: I will have no part in the creation of a constitutional double-standard to benefit the President. He is not above the law. If an ordinary citizen committed these crimes, he would go to jail.
That's true. Both the President and private citizens are clearly prohibited by statute from wiretapping anyone without a warrant, no matter what their claimed motivation is.
But, of course, Bill Frist was not speaking about President Bush in the above statement. Rather, he made that public statement as President Bill Clinton was about to go to war in Kosovo. What was important then was prosecuting the President for his false statements about his private sexual behavior, not supporting the nation's commander in chief at a critical time.
