That's what I have often said, Dick G- how would/will the GOP feel about the executive powers that will be handed on to the next president- the warrantless taps, instance?

I suspect that if a Democratic administration comes in, some of the GOP stalwarts will immediately come to their senses and say, Oh we can't have that!

The sad thing is that I'm not at all sure that any incoming administration will be willing to sacrifice the new powers. I would have tremendous respect for any White House that immediately disavowed anything that damages the Constitution. I would dearly love to feel proud of an administration.
