“No man is above the law, and no man is below the law. That’s the principle that we all hold very dear in this country.”
- Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas), October 1998
“As John Adams said, we are a nation of laws, not of men. Our nation has survived the failings of its leaders before, but it cannot survive exceptions to the rule of law in our system of equal justice for all.”
- Rep. Asa Hutchinson (R-Arkansas) December 1998
“The rule of law protects you and it protects me from the midnight fire on our roof or the 3 a.m. knock on our door. It challenges abuse of authority… There is such a thing lurking out in the world called abuse of authority, and the rule of law is what protects you from it. And so it’s a matter of considerable concern to me when our legal system is assaulted by our nation’s chief law enforcement officer, the only person obliged to take care that the laws are faithfully executed.”
- Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Illinois) December 1998
“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.”
- Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisconsin), December 1998
“[A] nation of laws cannot be ruled by a person who breaks the law. Otherwise, it would be as if we had one set of rules for the leaders and another for the governed.”
- Rep. Richard Armey (R-Texas) December 1998
“No one is above the law, not even the president.”
- Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-Connecticut), December 1998
