No, which is why I said "I think." But hey, if you actually believe otherwise, then I can understand why you'd feel more ready to act in extralegal fashion.
No, actions to save the life of particular innocents about to be killed aren't to be measured against the "possible" ramifications in the political arena. I am thinking here of the work of Operation Rescue back in 1988-1991, in particular. True, if the danger were imminent and certain, those things could be weighed. I am not arguing for the "pardon" route, necessarily.
I would still like someone to compare their outrage at possible Bush "unconstitutional" action to save the life of Terri Schindler and his signing campaign finance reform.
