art: two questions for the moment:
i do not understand is how exactly the manipulation of information falls within the constitutional system, specifically within the system of institutional "checks and balances" because it is a political and not an institutional matter.
i assume that the bush administration trying to force pakistan to arrest some al qeada person to upstage the democratic convention is not illegal---would your position be different if it were?
but assuming that it is not illegal: do i understand this correctly that if there is no case law specifically addressing the limits of this sort of action, then any such action is ok? and that it would only stop being ok if there was specific legal limits/prohibitions imposed by a court? and that otherwise any position on the matter is a question of prior assumptions that you would remove from the space of argument....
so i lied. there are three questions. ok four--but two of them are almost the same.
