On the other hand if I felt the letter of the law was broken in a manner that was immaterial to the spirit of the law, I would fix the problem and move on.
This is not a complicated issue in my view.

If you are sincerely interested in the truth, I hope the pitbull in you will personally support the ongoing Congressional effort (blocked or stalled by the WH at every step) to get all the facts about the TSP and urge your Republican senators and congressmember to vote FOR the Contempt of Congress charge when it reaches the floor so that the WH is compelled to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" so that it can be determined in a congressional or judicial setting (as the Constitution provides) if the President's actions were a willful violation of the law and his Constitutional oath or just "slightly over the line."
Although I am still trying to understand how a president can slightly violate a citizen's constitutionally protected rights.
Unless you think of course, that it is just more Democratic political grandstanding as you have suggested about some of the recent Congressional oversight efforts in the past year.
