Congressman 1: "No impeachable defense! No impeachable defense!" How can St. Clair keep babbling like that? Congressman 2: Especially since the President left no part of the Constitution unviolated! Congressman 1: Obstruction of justice, hush money payments, secret bombings, 25 top aides convicted or indicted... Congressman 2: My lord, what does it take?! What does it take?!! Congressman 1: *sigh* If only he'd knock over a bank or something... Congressman 2: By George, we'd have him then!
“The President wants me to argue that he is as powerful a monarch as Louis XIV, only four years at a time, and is not subject to the processes of any court in the land except the court of impeachment.”-Nixon attorney, James D. St. Clair, arguing in front of the Supreme Court of the United States.
