Ahhh, revisionist history. Gotta love it.  ;-)

Here are just a few references for you:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon's_Enemies_List

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

 ...and finally:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee

I could find more, but that's enough to illustrate that
people in positions of power misuse those powers for illegal
purposes. That is explicitly why there need to be checks and
balances to prevent any one branch of governement from steamrolling
it's will upon the other(s).

Cheers,
