A quote from Mark Twain, talking about the impeachment of Johnson.

" I believe the Prince of Darkness could start a branch of hell in Washington DC and carry it on Un-impeached by the Congress. Even though the constitution bristles with articles forbidding hell's in this country."

This is another example of how history does not exactly repeat itself, however it often rhymes.
