Our government will not long last if one administration's policy becomes material for the next's prosecutors. It will lead to tyranny for politics will become an issue of self-preservation. I can not emphasize what a poison this would be for our system of government.
That said I was browsing the RedState blog and saw this link.
Where to begin....
The author of this article is Charlie Savage, author of Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy. Evidently he studied as a journalist and a lawyer which is probably why this article has a very legalistic tone to it. His objective is to lay out for the reader, presumably hostile to President Bush, the terrain would be if they attempted a legal assault against him after he leaves office. I, for one, have no doubt of the influence that the New York Times has on the political class of the left and this is a clear suggestion by the writer and sanctioned by the editors. That this would even be brought up is troubling because it shows that they have no vision beyond their immediate political advantage.
