At the very least, we can prevent the egregious offenses of Bush in the future, which means everything from misinforming congress to wiretapping, to taking vacations when he should have been running the executive branch.

Legislation that already punishes the individual? what kind of law are you talking about? can you give any kind of example that is legislation that is in the spirit of justice???? Is that something like Megan's Law where the convicted are punished even after they have served their prison sentence?
I've not ever read something about spirit of justice except for in comic books.
Infinte loopholes is a possibility because culture, precedents, and word definitions change over time.
