"Moving On" Not an Option
A president can't "promise" that abuses won't happen in the future; he can only promise they won't happen while he's president -- and so far President Obama has had a hard time even keeping that limited a promise.
The Constitution is far more important than any issue on the political agenda of the moment and "moving on" without a clear repudiation of constitutional violations -- and perhaps appropriate punishment -- is simply not an option if the rule of law is to have any meaning.
