Correct me if I'm wrong but Gore would only be precluded from running for
reelection in
2004, due to constitutional amendment passed after F.D.R.'s 4 terms.

 Correct.  But you'll get 'dumb sheep' looks from the majority of U.S.
 citizens to whom you point that out...

 Since AlGore will be sworn-in if Mr. Clinton is removed or
 resigns this emotive is nonsense.

 Yes...which has lead me to wonder if perhaps there's 'something' which
 the Dems are afraid may come out in the impeachment trial which may lead
 to Gore's impeachment...

 The only other thing they may have feared would have been if Clinton was
 removed from office, or resigned, before January 20th, in which case Gore
 would be precluded from running for the presidency in 2000...but it seems
 now the process will go beyond the 19th, in which case if Gore ends up
 in 'the cat birds seat', he can still run for the office in 2000...

 A move which would -- on the surface -- seem to put the Dems in an
 advantageous position...so one has to wonder if their bleatings regarding
 'overthrowing the past 2 elections' is so much smoke and mirrors, or if
 it reflects fear of something deeper being exposed that may just possibly
 put the 2000 elections in the laps of the Republicans...

 It may explain why they don't want witnesses at the impeachment trial...

 D. Since when did we decide whether or not an American is
guilty/innocent AND establish punishment/non-punishment
by poll?

 Exactly.

 Heck...let's just set up an online kangaroo court, and let 'justice' be
 meted out via all and sundry voting on the Internet...

 And before any of you who think such would be a good idea jump up and say
 so -- just remember that public opinion sways from one end of the
 spectrum to the other ever generation or so...so the public opinion you
 may agree with today will be diametrically opposed to you in another 20
 years or so...

 Senate impeachment trial opens: political coup enters
 climactic stage
 By the Editorial Board
 8 January, 1999

 The opening of the Senate impeachment trial will be
 remembered in history as a critical milestone in the
 political degeneration and breakdown of the institutions
 of American democracy. Despite overwhelming popular
 opposition, a political coup d'etat--organized by a
 cabal of neo-fascist conspirators and the far-right
 groups that control the Republican Party--is on the
 verge of victory.

MJ:
A. America is NOT a democracy.

B. If a majority of the people want to subvert justice today,
   should we not enforce what a majority of the people 'wanted'
   (or rather did NOT want) in the last two (2) presidential
   elections -- a MAJORITY of the people voted AGAINST Bill
   Clinton.

C. coup d'état (dâ-tä´) noun
   The sudden overthrow of a government by a usually small
   group of persons in or previously in positions of
   authority.

Since AlGore will be sworn-in if Mr. Clinton is removed or
resigns this emotive is nonsense.

D. Since when did we decide whether or not an American is
   guilty/innocent AND establish punishment/non-punishment
   by poll?

A totalitarian state thrives on propaganda, and there
is no more effective way to limit thought than to
control the language itself.  By changing definitions
of words through continual association, any serious
discussion involving the concepts that the words
represents becomes hopelessly muddled.

The words "democracy," "hate" and "racism" immediately
comes to mind. -- Thomas Sowell
