Stated that if no statute existed at the time of the action....then no low was broken. In this case if the action goes against a known statue, then even a Ex Post Facto law would not exonerate the action from prosecution because a law was browkn at the time.

The big issue here is so many believe that Bush acted within his authority. This has been shown by numerous legal minds to not be the case.

So now continued refusal to prosecute is simply adding more fuel to the fire. Eventually, Bush and the GOP will be held acocountable for breaking the law and obstructing justice.

As I see it right now our Democracy is gone for as long as Bush goes unchecked.
