Kenneth Starr

We must put an end to the “independent” counsel statute. No man is above the law. Kenneth Starr should be indicted for his political witch hunt of the president. All rules of law were broken by Starr.

Let us now heal our country by never allowing anyone to operate carte blanche to destroy any sitting president by such biased investigations. Starr and his ilk must go.

The acquittal was bittersweet. Lives have already been ruined, reputations tarnished and all due to an obvious hatred of our president. Starr went way overboard and I do not believe he is done yet. It ain’t over until the fat man sings. He should quit while he is losing and resign!

Finding President Clinton in contempt of court for lying (or dissembling) in the Paula Jones deposition is putting the cart before the horse (Feb. 17). Judge Susan Webber Wright should determine whether the Jones lawyers were stalking horses for the Starr prosecution (or vice versa); whether their collusion can properly be characterized as a conspiracy; what should be done about that; and whether it is proper to punish the president for falling victim to a perjury trap in a bogus civil suit.

Holy John Sirica! With a little pluck Judge Wright could open up a whole new can of worms!

Following the defeat of Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s resolution of censure, I would like to present my own resolution.

Whereas President William Jefferson Clinton deliberately misled and deceived the American people, etc.; and whereas Clinton has not been censured for his misconduct; now therefore, be it resolved that the people of the United States respectfully request and expect a voluntary act of atonement from Clinton.

Using his awesome fund-raising ability to provide money for legal fees for the staff members harmed by the impeachment inquiry would be a good beginning.
