Punishing the Guilty

The constitutional argument is less clear than the statutory argument, and perhaps there's no reason to reach it. The fundamental problem here is that Bush sees himself as above the law, and has surrounded himself with people who affirm this.
There is another, minor, gloss on the Constitutional aspect of this. Bush took an oath of office wherein he swore to obey and uphold the laws of the United States. He violated that oath. He did so knowingly, apparently with full intent to do so, and he now shows no indication that he even acknowledges the possibility that his conduct was wrong.
