Letter: Clinton trial can make one sick

Thursday, Jan. 14, 1999 | 10:39 a.m.

Sometime, somewhere, somehow when we least expect it (sorry, "Candid Camera"), perhaps in the car on the way home with the radio on, we'll hear Nevada U.S. Sen. Harry Reid or his colleague poll watchers recite the mantra of education, Social Security, the environment, and so on, in support of short-circuiting the impeachment trial.

And just like that without warning, the next time might be barf time. Or maybe we could just leave our radios off. But that would put at risk hearing of any of these senators stiffen up their backbones, listening to full evidence as jurors with open minds, and then vote to preserve the integrity of the Republic.
