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 Home Page

Gingrich protégé is anti-immigration star from the Golden State. Home Page

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

Bob Inglis (S.C.)

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

Steve Buyer (Ind.)
Vets' champion makes a big deal of Gulf War service. Didn't see action, though. 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

Ed Pease (Ind.)
A résumé as long as your pinky, and surprise -- he's an "open mind" guy. Home Page

An impeachment hawk, and for the flimsiest reason: morality. Home Page

If the Democrats have a friend across the aisle, he's it. Home Page

Lindsey Graham (S.C.)
Arch-conservative, but unafraid to defy Newt. Home Page

Staying mum for now; he's the liberal with Hyde's ear. Home Page

Net-savvy Californian; moderate female whose support Clinton will need. Home Page

Named the biggest "windbag" in Congress by Washingtonian magazine in 1998. Home Page

Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and a vocal advocate for the President's most loyal constituency Home Page

Martin T. Meehan (Mass.)
Big advocate of campaign finance reform has taken the unusual step of practicing what he preaches in his home district. Home Page
