Republicans are playing Democrats like a fiddle

14. They see an opportunity.

No doubt about that .

But, with this latest "controversy" or "scandal", or whatever, it would not benefit the Republicans very much because they know Bush did the same thing, but without any approval from Congress or the judiciary. He should have been impeached. But Congress turned around and made everything he did legal with a simple vote.

That is the same policy that Barack Obama is using right now. They know they would look like hypocrites if they pressed this issue too much. In the end, I think it is to the Democrats advantage, because many Republicans agree with the more liberal Democrats that it should be discontinued in its present form. Nobody wants the nation to disarm but even moreso, they do not want our Constitution trampled upon.
