Why would a (true) conservative defend him?

Stuart Buck makes light of NSA Spying by projecting a sophisticated cynicism at the same time he offers a protective statement of "That's not to say anything about whether such monitoring is appropriate..." Yet the message comes through that knowledgeable parsing of the Constitution allows the President to do anything he wants.

What motivates self-proclaimed conservatives (I actually think they are radicals) to defend a President who breaks the spirit and letter of the law? I just don't get it.

UPDATE: Yes, there are still principled conservatives. Listen to Conservatives on Foreign Policy on The Diane Rehm Show, Monday December 19, 2005. Pretty amazing. Very encouraging. Real patriots.

Fear. And an excess of trust in the current Administration. They should keep in mind their greatest fear-a President Hillary Clinton. :)
