Our View: Clinton Impeachment Defense Lacks Substantiation
The White House defense on impeachment largely rehashes old strategy as supporters aim at moderates. Critics say the arguments fail to address perjury and abuse of power, with constitutional scholars noting parallels to Watergate. Despite Senate removal votes unlikely, call grows to move impeachment to the full House.

Dust settles yet again in Clinton impeachment debate
Sobran argues that Bill Clinton's conduct mirrors political cynicism and legal contempt, asserting impeachable offenses were present though constitutional constraints prevented removal. He compares public reactions to Hiss and Simpson, warns of diminished standards, and calls for accountability, ending with a blunt verdict on Clinton’s fitness to serve.

Syndicated columnist notes Harvey Silverglate and Alan Kors charge universities undermine liberty. At Columbia Accuracy in Academia hosted a two day conference with speakers like Ward Connerly and Dinesh D'Souza, drawing about 100 protesters and triggering added security costs. The event was effectively curtailed by campus administration and speech codes, illustrating what the author calls a broader crackdown on conservative thought in higher education.
