In the wake of President Trump firing James Comey, much has been mentioned about President Nixon and his “Saturday Night Massacre”. However, there was another president, Andrew Johnson, who got Congress so worked up over some of his firings, it passed a law prohibiting him from doing any further without Senate approva... |
See this link for an account from the PBS show American Experience. |
Johnson was later acquitted (by one vote) by the trial held in the Senate. FYI, Bill Clinton was also impeached by the House and acquitted by the Senate, but his charge was lying under oath (not the scandal itself, but his testimony afterwards). |
Who Mr. Trump nominates to succeed Comey should be interesting (and perhaps, sadly, entertaining). The US Constitution says the President can be impeached for “Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors (Article II, Section IV). There is still a lot of first term left for anything to happen. |

The Reggie Bush Saga Reveals Hypocrisy of USC |
| by |
If you’re anything like this LSU fan, you didn’t need another reason to hate USC. In the wake of the school being exposed for essentially “looking the other way” while its star athletes like Reggie Bush allegedly broke the rules, USC has decided to play the role of the victim. |
The school got rid of Bush’s “tainted” Heisman trophy and is removing murals dedicated to Bush. It’s all in an effort to separate the school from the player. Yeah, because poor little USC got blind-sided and taken advantage of by a 19-year-old kid and suddenly that Heisman Trophy and all the millions that came with his... |
When we strip off our Rose Bowl colored glasses, it’s easy to see what these “dramatic measures” are all about: Good, ole fashioned posturing with a not-so-subtle, creamy layer of ass kissing. When the NCAA slapped the university with sanctions and a ban from bowl games for the next 2 seasons, head honchos like preside... |
But let’s face it, if Reggie Bush and other players were getting their pockets laced from outside sports marketers and agents, is it really plausible that USC had no clue? I mean, the fancy new cars, limo rides, the new house, the splashy jewelry…none of that raised a red flag? Plus, it’s not like he wasn’t getting spe... |
If rules were broken, then yes, there should be consequences, but USC should just take its medicine, clean house and move forward. Trying to finger-point, play dumb, and throw the players under the bus once the shit hits the fan is a jerk move and speaks volumes about the greed and unethical practices of college footba... |
Giving back Reggie’s Heisman and taking down a mural won’t reverse the sanctions or erase the past…nor will it erase his contributions on the football field. |
