Dear Honorable Chairman, Vice Chairman and Senators
Petition to Restore the Senate’s Integrity from Appearance of Prejudgment
By the Right of Petition, we submit grievances:
That “We the People” unjustly influenced and corruptly persuaded the Senate while seated as a Supreme Court of Impeachment in 1999 to try William Jefferson Clinton;
Of misprisions, by Senators Bunning, Crapo and Schumer, in giving the appearance of prejudgment by sitting to try articles of impeachment, during the Senate’s 1999 Trial of Impeachment, having previously voted on issuing those articles while Representatives in the House;
Of misprisions by the 49 Senators present in both the 101st and 106th Congress, of negligence by failing to raise a Point of Order over this appearance of prejudgment, in breach of the Senate’s established practice to recuse such Senators to explicitly protect the integrity of the Senate;
Of misprisions by these 52 Senators of negligence in failing to raise a Point of Order to protect the Senate from unjust influence and corrupt persuasion by “We the People,” and for receiving such partisan communications while sitting to try an impeachment;
Of misprisions by these 52 Senators during that impeachment trial, of breaching their Impeachment Oath, their Oath of Office, and the Constitution, of undermining justice, and of acting repugnantly to the Declaration of Independence.
We humbly pray the Senate Select Committee on Ethics redress these grievances of misprisions by the 52 Senators by investigating these allegations, by presenting Show Cause prayers to those Senators, by preparing guidelines for ethical practice before and during a trial of impeachment, by publically reporting thereon to the Committee on Rules and Administration, to the Senate as the Committee of the Whole, and to “We the People.”
These grievances and prayers for redress are detailed in the attached Petition.
We humbly pray the Senate promptly address this petition, as we must all account to the Supreme Judge of all the world, who rewards and punishes us for our actions.
