Meanwhile, US Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), a moderate Republican chairing the wiretapping hearings in the Senate, told George Stephanopoulos during a television program, impeachment would be the standard remedy, at least in theory, if Bush has broken the law.

"Well, the remedy could be a variety of things. A president — and I’m not suggesting remotely that there’s any basis, but you’re asking, really, theory, what’s the remedy? Impeachment is a remedy. After impeachment, you could have a criminal prosecution, but the principal remedy, George, under our society is to pay a political price," Senator Specter said on January 15, 2006.

Et tu, Brutei? Arlen seems far too willing to give ground on these issues than I'm comfortable with.

If voters think the President went too far, they can throw Republicans out of office. I haven't seen voters cotton onto the moonbats' notion political differences should be a matter of criminal prosecution.
