The Bush group has for years dealt with awkward 'laws' and definitions by simply asserting that if the president does it in the interest of national security, it is not illegal, and thus not a crime. He avoided even being asked about the constitutionality of THAT arcane idea by issuing "signing statements". He got away with it by waving 9/11 signs every time a question was asked.
   Now it is so late in the term that 1) we would have to conduct at least two impeachment proceedings and 2) everything would grind to a halt while it happened....and several other awkward situations.

   I would not, however, object to seeing a few high lawbreaker prosecuted AFTER leaving offic next year.
