I agree that Bush is a douchebag that is constantly going against the spirit of the United States and the Constitution.

I think you summed it up with your initial sentence.

Nixon had the "Right" to fire Archibald Cox. Cox was an executive branch employee who served at the pleasure of the President. However, there was a larger principal involved: respect for the law and the criminal justice process. The outrageous part of both situations was that even though the President was within the law, he tried to elevate some above the law.

Dont all pardons kinda elevate the recipient above the law?

The part that resonated with me was his comparison of Libby's pardon to the Saturday Night Massacre. His contention there was that was proof that Bush believed he was above the law and that it was analogous to the Massacre because it was such a blindingly obvious abuse of power.

1. Libby didn't get pardoned.

2. It's much more analogous to the Clinton pardons. In fact, every damned president we've had in our lifetimes would have done the same thing in this instance.
