I’m sure congress members, judges (SCOTUS), governors, generals, admirals; _anyone_ in a position of power in USG or other USA institution is now easily blackmailed by executive elements of USG.
I have it on good authority from a trusted person that obama plays this every morning when he gets out of his coffin ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izh73tjdIkU ... and they say vampires only come out at night?

Egads. Are they expecting no electricity or hot water to shave with [or no barbers] soon?

Recall if you will, many years ago, The cell phone conversations of Newt and others were intercepted and recorded by a couple from Florida vacationing in DC with a radio shack device
BS...... Bubba ordered the NSA to get the goods on Newt

Is this one of the reasons the GOP is so weak-kneed?

That has been my take for some time.
Obama is fully using the capabilities of the NSA on CJ Roberts and anyone who would oppose him. He's been doing it since day one and has continued. What has been revealed thusfar is only the tip of the NSA iceberg.
Look at what he has done to the military hierarchy. How do people think that newly tooled apparatus will be used when needed?

Duh? Why do you think they built the thing? Does anyone at the NSA really care if Mrs Robinson is sleeping with her next door neighbor who just graduated from high school?
Well, they do if it's Justice Roberts nephew I suppose.
