It’s significant in more ways than most realize. A threshold has been crossed by Obama. He’s set a precedence that will make such moves less unappealing by future Presidents no matter what their party is.

This must be punished to the fullest or we face future leaders doing the same much more readily.

Executive privilege goes all the way back to George Washington.

I don't think Obama has set a precendent in the manner of a given President asserting the rights of the Executive Branch to be free from undue governance by the Legislative Branch, per se. President Bush did this, rightly so, when the Democrats politicized their efforts in trying to unseat him - a legal President (something which I believe Obama is not).

Likewise, the Democrats’ efforts were specious, and over largely meaningless things.

This F&F thing is about facilitating premeditated murder of at least one border patrol agent - a very substantive thing - via a collusion of conspiracy at the highest levels of the Executive Branch to BREAK THE LAW - Nixon (if I really believed that W&B bullsh!t) would, indeed, be very proud.
