[lbo-talk] Gore: wiretapping could be impeachable offense

[andie nachgeborenen]

There being no real law on the subject and since the
courts aren't going to intervene the only impeachable
offenses are those that piss off enough enough members
of the Senate to vote to impeach. "High crimes and
misdemeanors" isn't a term thst appears in the US
criminal code or that of any state that I'm aware of.
