Many Congressional bodies in history would have charged those responsible with espionage and treason, and moved immediately to impeach the president, if they found that the Executive branch was illegally wiretapping an internal Congressional committee charged with investigating the executive branch's conspiracy to secretly torture and kill enemies of the executive branch.
It is abhorrent to our democracy and a direct, domestic threat to the legitimacy of our elected government and the survival of the rights guaranteed to us by our Constitution.
Unfortunately, when you cry 'wolf' / 'impeach' / 'Benghazi' every five minutes after it becomes clear a black man is going to live in the White House, that kind of neutralizes the ability to express outrage and be heard on legitimate issues. If the center-left Constitutional Law professor can get away with this sort of shit, I cringe at where we're going.
