How Much More?

The Bush League now says that the invocation of executive privilege trumps anything else, and provides a legal shield for anyone working for the executive branch.

How much more can the Republicans swallow before admitting that their party leader has gone off the rails? And what price will they require before they're willing to join efforts to impeach/censure/rein in/put into a loony bin that same party leader? "Price" because I think that the Republicans are still willing to support him even as they try to distance themselves, and they're going to need a politically palatable reason to desert. And no, I don't think the Democrats are immune to this disease... just temporarily innoculated.

And, finally: how can we keep this from happening again? (My guess is: so long as we have politicians, we can't.)
