Reply #2: Not this time...

It's too out of control for spinning. It's too black and white in the law. As soon as Prosecutor Fitzgerald gets a hold of it, it's impeachment time.

Jonathan Alter over at Newsweek is already calling Bush a lawbreaker and saying this is impeachable:

"No, Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story—which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year—because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker. He insists he had “legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.” But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing “all necessary force” in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism."

This story is spinning out of control fast on Bush and he has maybe a week or two tops before he is past the point of no return.
