Congressman Brad Sherman spoke in front of the San Fernando Valley community on March 30. The town hall meeting took place in Reseda High School, where about 200 community members showed up for the event. Impeachment was discussed during a town hall meeting with U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman held at Reseda High School on Sunday, March 28.

Approximately 200 San Fernando Valley residents gathered to ask the congressman from the 27th District about local, national and international issues. Reactions were mixed when issues such as the war in Iraq, high crimes and misdemeanors were addressed.

Several questions were asked about George W. Bush's presidency and whether Sherman would favor impeaching Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Although Sherman acknowledged that his constituents in the valley tend to be, and vote, more liberal than the rest of the country, he said voters across the nation may not see eye-to-eye on certain issues. "How about doing something because it's right?" Paul Russell Laverack, a CSUN screenwriting graduate student asked Sherman, after he had been discussing the issue for a few minutes in front of a microphone.

Laverack also said that executive privilege needs to be curbed in order to avoid future wars, torture and wiretappings, regardless of who is president. When Sherman warned of the complexity and consequences of impeachment, (he voted against the impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998, and is a member of the Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives) a woman in the audience shouted, "It doesn't hurt to try," to which Sherman answered, "Sometimes it does hurt to try."

1. "Sometimes it does hurt to try." WTF?

That's it? No expounding on that thought and there never is to my satisfaction. There is never a reasonable answer put forth by any of the road-blocking ney-sayers, just complete disregard of how we were lied into war, the consequences of that and some other such robo-nonsensical response.
