In reply to the discussion: How can we hold presidents accountable if they can wage wars anywhere at anytime in secret? [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)admit any wrongdoing. The Supreme Court Justices are getting away with crimes against the Constitution because they just stay stubborn and never deviate from their agenda. Hell even Obama is breaking the law in some of the things he's doing, from refusing to hold Bush accountable to using drones. I believe this even though I support President Obama. Would he do this if President's before him hadn't been conveniently let off the hook?
Yes. They are beating any charges just by continuing to do what they do. I believe there's a very good chance Nixon would have beaten the charges. Or he could have continued to be President, all the time doing as much harm as he chose to do until they were forced to actually kick him out of office and that could have taken his entire last term.
But needless to say, this is just an opinion of mine since we'll never know. It could have gone the other way for all I know.
