Warren Rudman, master of understatement

Via AmericaBlog, the Wall Street Journal has a story about conservatives who are none-too-happy with Bush illegally spying upon Americans. For some reason. Mostly it's stuff you've seen before, but as with the Miers nomination, I take a certain grisly pleasure in watching the big snakes eat each other.

And I couldn't believe this line:

"It seems to me that if you're the president, you have to proceed with great caution when you do anything that flies in the face of the Constitution," said Warren Rudman, a former Republican senator from New Hampshire who has served on a number of government intelligence advisory boards.

Yes, that would seem to follow.

Other prominent conservatives quoted or cited include George Will, Bob Barr, Arlen Specter, Chuck Hagel and John Sununu.
