On the other hand…

Glenn Greenwald says heads should roll. And I must say, I agree:

[J]udicial decisions are starting to emerge which come close to branding the conduct of Bush officials as criminal. FISA is a criminal law. The administration has been violating that law on purpose, with no good excuse. Government officials who violate the criminal law deserve to be — and are required to be — held accountable just like any other citizens who violate the law. That is a basic, and critically important, principle in our system of government. These are not abstract legalistic questions being decided. They amount to rulings that our highest government officials have been systematically breaking the law — criminal laws — in numerous ways. And no country which lives under the rule of law can allow that to happen with impunity.

For the office of the President, at least, there is only one mechanism for an ouster: ITMFA.
