I have heard this argument before about precedent and what a future pres. would do with it. Bill and Hillary engaged in this activity for eight years already. You are assuming that previous administrations didn't do it because it was against the law. Don't be so naive.Certainly you are not saying that, because it was illegally done before, that we should ignore the illegal behavior now or in the future?

First, let's not assume that what Bush did was illegal. That's begging the question. He is using presidential powers in time of war. The Clintons used eavesdropping for political gain during peacetime. I'm not saying that any illegal activity should be ignored at anytime but if it's going to be done anyway, precedent means nothing.
