And I'm quoting heavily from his opening statement during the Clinton Impeachment Hearings.

"…The framers of the Constitution devised an elaborate system of checks and balances to ensure our liberty by making sure that no person, institution or branch of government became so powerful that a tyranny could be established in the United States of America. Impeachment is one of the checks the framers gave the Congress to prevent the executive or judicial branches from becoming corrupt or tyrannical. Today, based upon the evidence that the president lied, obstructed and abused power in an effort to prevent the court from administering equal justice under law, I cast my vote in favor of impeaching William Jefferson Clinton."
