What occurs to me every time we're reminded of the disdain this Administration has for every check on the misuse or flagrant dismissal of lawfullness, Obama will be fettered if he flies right.
Much like when a campaigner decides to present his policy positions with a minimal degree of spin and distortions/lies about his opponent--there is an inherent advantage for those who get to deceive the voter with unbridled license for deception.
It's unlawful, unethical and immoral to do what Bush has perpetuated about war engagement, FISA, torture policy, use of the DOJ, environmental impact/supervision and count the 100 ways to undermine the will of consumers and citizens to exhaustion.
It's depressing to realize that one team (Bush/Cheney theory of governing) will always cheat when they have the gavel clenched in their hand and ultimately a free hand to rule with extreme prejudice because they essentially despise the rule of law and the Constitution.
Will the new "nation of laws and not of men" ever find its voice loudly enough again?
