The public is saying get this thing over so we can focus on America's agenda for progress,
I stand with this family. I stand on the side of this young man,
They are already working on the articles of impeachment. They know where they are going. No, they are not going to allow any censure motion. They do not care ... what evidence is presented by the White House or anybody else.
The way I see it is they came to his house, uninvited, ... They had not only the force of the embassy but the Marines with them. They made it clear that he had to go now or he would be killed.
The taking of private property for private use, in my estimation, is unconstitutional. It's un-American, and it's not to be tolerated. This is not a partisan issue.
Every member of this committee should be offended by the ... wild spin that was just put on by Mr. Lindsey in attempting to somehow send a message to Monica Lewinsky that she has been undermined by the president of the United States and thus set her up to be angry at the president in case she's called as a witness, ...

You have your local city government and your community redevelopment agencies who will tell you that they want to take private property because they want to do away with blight, they want to upgrade the neighborhood, ... I don't buy that.
There is reason to show up, if none other than to continue to tell you how unfair the process is.
The power to impeach a president should not be casually used to remove a president and overturn an election simply because we don't like him or his policies. The constitution is on trial, and we hope that we will uphold the constitution and the civil rights of everybody involved.
We have governors all over the country, we have deficits, people are unhappy, ... I think the Californians spoke, but Americans will be speaking about the economic situation all over the country, it's not about Democrat or Republican.
