That's what Republicans used to stand for: rule of law. Today, Republicans make up laws to suit themselves or disregard them entirely. It's not just law, what law did Clinton break before they spent $70 million salivating over Whitewater? Republicans want it both ways: Dems must be pure as the driven snow while Republicans can do whatever they like without remorse or conscience. It's not a good way to live a life or to run a party. Besides, there is the little thing called national security in the Plame affair. Obviously getting partisan revenge on Wilson was more important than worrying about the work of a CIA operative.

"Republicans want the maximum penalty if a law was broken. But it hasn't been established which law, if any, was broken and by whom." I used to believe this. I hope it is still true. So, if Rove, Libby or anyone else is indicted after this tremendously long, detailed search by an impartial investigator, first appointed by Bush the First, and the indictment (which carries quite a bit of weight by itself) leads to conviction or plea deal......the republicans will be howling for the maximum penalty? I wonder. If Rush Limbaugh is charged, then convicted, of doctor shopping or whatever, will republicans howl for the maximum penalty for Rush? I wonder.
