As long as my advisors can come up with some shaky argument that I can say I *thought* this stuff was okay. What do I care. 25 years after Watergate, Nixon's legacy became a lot better than the expected "fuckhead who perpetrated Watergate". So a few Muslims phone calls were tapped without going through the usual channels. The fallout is not going to be that big a deal.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Once he's a lame duck, then why should he bother obeying the law?
You ought to consider actually reading this stuff before you post it.
