With All The New Precedents This Administration Is Setting,
When the day comes that we win back Congress and the Presidency will our leaders fall prey to abusing that power as well? Or do you think they will instead work to reverse the precedents that should never have been set in the first place.

I'm curious as to others opinions on this.

2. I think it will be nice
They'll squeal like little piggies when we're in power and tell them STFU. Bush showed we can do whatever we want...then we'd act reasonably and responsibly following the Constitution and law, but with the knowledge that there is precedence for much. So be careful you Little Flying Monkeys what you wish for.

3. I sometimes wonder if that is why some Dems seem to be somewhat
reluctant in picking fights over power abuse.

Though Im really really looking forward to Gore on Monday. Though I get the feeling a lot of Dems will distance themselves from him if it really is a "call to arms" as it is being touted.
