John Avlon : Senate Judiciary Committee held hearing on Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling on 'Presidential immunity' Avlon says Richard Nixon 's famous Watergate quote: "When the president does it that means that it is not illegal" He says a strong president is not necessarily a criminal president, but a strong, result-oriented president.

Avlon, who worked with Watergate special prosecutors, testified before the Judiciary Committee .

Charles Pierce : The Supreme Court ruled that a president who uses his office to commit crimes is fully answerable in a criminal prosecution.

He says the ruling until repudiated at some point in the future will be available to future presidents.

Pierce: It would be folly to assume that every president will voluntarily refrain from abusing power available to him.
