| Description | Only weeks remain in the legendary political career of Republican Rep. Henry Hyde.
He leaves the House of Representatives at year's end after 32 years representing his Chicago west suburban district. He is proud of his accomplishments and candid about his failures, qualities that have made him one of the most respected and best-liked members of Congress.
He has no apologies for prosecuting Clinton, but told me: "I'd like to go back and do the impeachment again." He explained: "I was soft on the treatment we received from the Senate. We couldn't produce a witness without their permission. I should have had the president come in and testify. And if the Senate wouldn't let me, I should have gone before the body and Chief Justice Rehnquist and made a motion. That would have dramatized that the Senate was not letting us try our case. A lot of things could have been done differently." |
