Doesn't it set a precedent? Or is that only for the Dems? All kidding aside, I think this is a very serious matter, and that we need to know what the rules are, and that the President whoever he/she is, has a clear guide. The times we are living in demand it. Cell phones change instantly, internet makes it possible to change direction for terrorists instantly, and so does other tech vehicles that weren't even thought of 20 years ago....or even 2 years ago in some cases.

Clinton and Carter did the same. So have most Presidents at one time or another. So what? You sound like a child if you argue, "John and Martha did it too, Mother!" But in this case, mother knew John and Martha were doing it and approved of their doing it, but now says that because you're the Rodney Dangerfield of the family and your mother doesn't like you it's wrong for you to do the same thing. Can you spell hypocrisy? Of course, this is partisian politics, so we should expect them to be hypocritical. But that doesn't mean that we have to, too. Can't we be more intelligent and responsible than our politicians? It really doesn't take much at all.
