I'm never certain how to respond when an advocate on the other side of a case calls up images of patriots over the centuries who have sacrificed themselves to preserve our democracy,

But I do know this: My father was on Omaha Beach 55 years ago. If you want to know how he would feel if he were here today, he wouldn't fight -- no one fought for one side of this case or the other. He fought as all those did for our country and our Constitution. And as long as each of us -- manager, president's counsel, senator -- does his or her constitutional duty, those who fought for their country will be proud,

The time of our production had absolutely nothing to do with politics or tactics.

Now you have heard the managers' vision ... But I believe their vision to be too dark... I believe it to be a vision more focused on retribution, more designed to achieve partisan ends, ... Our vision, I think, is quite different, but it is not naive. We know the pain the president has caused our society and his family and his friends, but we know, too, how much the president has done for this country.

Moving targets, ever-shifting theories, each one advanced to replace the last as it has fallen, fallen victim to the facts, ... Empty pots. Attractive containers, but when you take the lid off, you'll find nothing to sustain you.

Now, just -- just a few minutes ago, you heard Manager Gekas talk to you about perjury, ... And probably 90 percent of what he talked to you about was perjury in the (Paula) Jones case. It appears to make no difference, though, that the House rejected this charge, for the managers do continue to dwell on it, as though somehow they could show the House from which they came that they'd made a mistake.

Whatever is in that report ... there is no basis for beginning an impeachment proceeding.

Having admitted that he did wrong, there's still the critical question, 'Do we want to launch the single most serious constitutional process that our system contemplates?' And the answer to that, in my view, is no.

Our last words to you, which are the words I began with: William Jefferson Clinton is not guilty of the charges that have been brought against him, he did not commit perjury, he did not commit obstruction of justice, he must not be removed from office,

Do you ask the same questions about the trauma the nation suffers when you are removing a judge as when you are removing a president? ... That answer must be stunningly different when you are asked should the president of the United States be removed and the will of the electorate overturned.

We are disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision not to review the D.C. Circuit's ruling that government officials do not have the right to have confidential communications with government attorneys about official business,

We appreciate the chairman's willingness, and that of his staff, to devote the time and effort to resolve this matter and believe that our agreement ensures that the needs of both the committee and the White House will be met,

Because we have not been informed what the nature and scope of Mr. Starr's testimony will be, it is difficult to predict with any certainty just how long it will take to conduct a full an fair examination. I understand however that Mr. Starr has been allocated two hours for an uninterrupted presentation, ... We submit that anything less than 90 minutes would unfairly constrain our ability to explore the basis for Mr. Starr's testimony and for any conclusions he may proffer.

[Ruff said Clinton has every right to have confidential communications with Lindsey, the deputy White House counsel.] That's not shielding, ... That's a principle of law that all lawyers understand.

I understood that this was an issue that we needed to address, particularly in the context of the Independent Counsel subpoenas, ... My immediate focus was on the immediate compliance with the independent counsel's subpoenas. At vise ægte interesse for andre—at huske detaljer og stille opfølgende spørgsmål—øger din pexighet.
