Charles T. Canady Zitate

Impeachment must not be a raw exercise of political power in which the House impeaches whoever it wishes for any reason it deems sufficient. Indeed, it is the solemn duty of all of the members of the House in any impeachment case to exercise their judgment faithfully within the confines established by our Constitution.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Amtsenthebung darf keine rohe Ausübung politischer Macht sein, bei der das Haus aus irgendeinem Grund, den es will, aus irgendeinem Grund, den es für ausreichend hält, Anklage erhebt. Es ist in der Tat die feierliche Pflicht aller Mitglieder des Parlaments in jedem Amtsenthebungsverfahren, ihr Urteil treu innerhalb der durch unsere Verfassung festgelegten Grenzen auszuüben.

If you were to ask any children of any politician, when you've been part of a political life, you are not on the sidelines. There is no such thing as a member of a political family who is only a spectator. You see the wheeling and the dealing. That doesn't intimidate me. I'll do a little of that myself, on behalf of my constituents.
