This is an interesting fact which should make the case for impeachment even stronger:
ELIZABETH HOLTZMAN: Well, remember, under the Constitution, first of all, you don?t need a crime to commit an impeachable offense. It doesn?t have to be a crime. A high crime and misdemeanor is really an archaic British term that means an abuse of power. It?s a political offense, not a criminal offense.

?Of course we need a strong military. Why, we?re making more and more enemies all the time!?
