“Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road....Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness for the simple reason that he did not want to endanger his hold on public office”
“We are here because the President did wrongful acts and he admits to that....This President is in this predicament because of his own private wrongdoing and because of public policy he pursued. There is no conspiracy”
“Having been in the service myself, and knowing how important discipline is, I am very disturbed that we have so many cases where severe punishment is dealt to individuals who have engaged in conduct far less serious than that of the President“
“I am deeply concerned that we will do great damage to our system of law and the freedom it defends if we diminish the seriousness of these crimes and thereby suggest to future offenders that they can commit these crimes with little to fear”
“The Constitution cannot be rewritten by public opinion polls or by political expediency. When I took the oath of office to serve in Congress, I did not swear to uphold the Constitution only if it was popular.”
“I choose to be on the side that says no person is above the law; that this is a nation of laws, not men; that telling the truth matters; and that we should expect our public officials to conduct themselves in compliance with the highest ethical standards“
“I believe the long-term consequence to this country of not acting on these serious charges before us far outweigh the consequences of following what the Constitution provides for and bringing this to trial in the Senate”
“In America there is no emperor. There is one standard of justice that applies equally to all, and to say or do otherwise will undermine the most sacred of all American ideals”
“A president doesn’t even have to be convicted of a crime to be impeached. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office”
