I suppose I'll be cliche and answer the original question without browbeating either side.
This latest development troubles me as I believe one of the strengths of our system is the oversite provided by the three branches on each other.
My take on this brooklin bridge guy is that if we have the evidence, use it regardless of how it was obtained. I would prefer that to releasing him.
At the same time, if the law was broken, then those responsible need to be held accountable and oversite restored.
I am VERY disappointed with Bush over this and I wish there had been a better alternative in 2004.
