THE WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION HAS REACHED THE FINAL FRONTIER OF
JURISPRUDENCE
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, some people say that politics in America
is getting real strange. Take Whitewater. Please, somebody take
Whitewater. Whitewater has now gone where no man or woman has ever gone
before, as evidenced by juror Barbara Adams, who shows up in a sleek
red and black Star Trek uniform, complete with phaser and communicator.
Adams said she is constantly prepared to be beamed up by Captain Kirk.
Surprised? Not me. I would not be surprised to see some of those
witnesses show up wearing a beanie with a propeller on top. Mr.
Speaker, this has taken American jurisprudence to a whole new
dimension. Trial by a jury of your peers is getting a whole new
definition, and I pronounce here today and acclaim that Whitewater has
now entered the final frontier. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.
