Who's Who on
the House Judiciary Committee
Republicans
Henry Hyde (Ill.)
Grandfatherly chair seems less and less bipartisan; can't hide from
"youthful indiscretions."
Home Page
Jim Sensenbrenner (Wis.)
Science Committee chair attacks NASA like a rottweiller. Now he's getting
his teeth into Clinton.
Home Page
Bill McCollum (Fla.)
A serious type. He's neutral now, but when things
heat up, watch out.
Home Page
George W. Gekas (Pa.)
Eight-term Republican rewrote Brady Bill on NRA's behalf; says he's reading
up on impeachment history
Home Page
Howard Coble (N.C.)
North Carolina firebrand says constituents want Clinton out of town on the
next train

Washington, too.

Home Page
Charles T. Canady (Fla.)
Up-and-coming conservative, affirmative action foe

Bob Goodlatte (Va.)
A party line conservative from a rural district, Goodlatte has a reputation as a smart guy who picks things up quickly
Home Page

Ed Bryant (Tenn.)
Fresh-faced Tennessean hooked up with Gingrich back in '94 and never let go.
Home Page
Steve Chabot (Ohio)
A perjury-at-the-very-least Republican hawk, but he has a
reelection challenge to worry about.
Home Page
Bob Barr (Ga.)
Conservative bomb-lobber and top gun of the
Clinton-hunters.
Home Page
William L. "Bill" Jenkins (Tenn.)
Represents Andrew Johnson's hometown, but claims
he's not ready for the i-word yet.
Home Page
Asa Hutchinson (Ark.)
A freshman, and knows Clinton from back home.
Not expected to be sympathetic.
Home Page

A résumé as long as your pinky, and
surprise -- he's an
"open mind" guy.
Home Page
Chris Cannon (Utah)
An impeachment hawk, and for the flimsiest
reason: morality.
Home Page
James E. Rogan (Calif.)
If the Democrats have a friend across the aisle,
he's it.

Arch-conservative, but unafraid to defy Newt.
Home Page

Sonny's widow, and just as conservative.

Currently locked in a tight battle for Al
D'Amato's Senate seat, Schumer may try to use his committee position as a
stage for his run.

Hyde's ear.
Home Page

Voted with Republicans on Starr report release.
Defector in the making?

As chair of the constitutional subcommittee, this black Congressman
gets to decide precisely what "high crimes and misdemeanors" means
Home Page

Calls the Starr report the work of an
overzealous prosecutor and adamantly opposed its release.
