I called Dodd to ask what his position was on Russ Feingold's resolution. The staffer said that he had not made up his mind. I found Dodd's statement about impeachment. In it Dodd stated among other things: "While it is certainly true that no person, including the President, is above the law, it is equally true that no President is below the law either" and "President Clinton's subsequent and misleading false statements to his staff, his Cabinet, the country, and others is abhorrent. History will judge his actions and significant lapses of judgments harshly, as it should." So I read some sections to the staffer, and said that on the basis of these statements I expect that Dodd would support the censure. The staffer was not very friendly, and it sounded as if she did not want to hear that.
For the record, Dodd was against these procedeeings but it does not mean that his statements about the law and constitution should be different now.
