1. Maybe but I have doubts about SCOTUS playing along.
The Supreme Court Justices are powerful people. And they understand that to do their job they must remain powerful. They will seek to preserve that power as at least a co-equal branch of government.

Moreover, I am not so sure that SCOTUS would provide a majority vote in favor of an adminisitration that has circumvented THE primary thing the Justices believe in--The Court System.

Bush absolutely knows the spy scandal is serious enough to trigger an avalanche of rejection. That is why he's made an unprecedented 4 live personal appearances in 4 consecutive days. Over this past fall there was at least one poll in which a large majority of repsondents indicated that if Bush lied to get us into the war he should be impeached. I don't think the nation will feel differently when Bush is shown (as he is being shown) to have broken federal law?
