| ³»¿ë | Perhaps justice has nothing to do with it. The men who wrote ¼´ë¹®±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç<br /> and approved the US constitution in 1787 made a conscious decision to make the impeachment and removal process a political one. They put politicians in charge of it, after all. The American system of government was designed to set equal ¿ë°µ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç<br /> branches of government - the executive, the legislative and the judiciary - in constant Àá½Ç¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç<br /> tension. It was a way, they theorised, to prevent government tyranny. Impeachment, then, is a tool that the legislative ÀåÀ§µ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç<br /> branch has to protect its µ¿´ë¹®¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç<br /> prerogatives and keep the president accountable. Whether it's also a tool for "justice" is open for debate. Should the Senate vote in line with political allegiance, as expected, or should they È«Äá¸íǰÁö°©=È«Äá¸íǰÁö°©<br /> vote as independent jurors? - Will Barnett, Bristol, 26 |
