This is some scary crap.

It disturbs me more that our highly educated Senate and House Officials can't evaluate charges independent of their party affiliation.  

Regarding your question, he same exact thing was going on with the Clinton impeachment.  It's just that now the tables have been turned.

Yes, it's a bad precedence that the "other party" will always go after the President.

I question why the 2+ party system is even necessary.  Let's just vote for local and national candidates in a single vote.  Candidates won't have a party affiliation but can cite their position on key issues for the people to determine their vote.
