Nancy of Arabia is slowly losing whatever support is left for her "mission" to Syria and beyond. Funny thing is, the main excuse for her abject undermining of U.S foreign policy is being promoted by immature liberals in this fashion: "Nancy truly BELIEVED it was the right thing to do" so therefore it is not a violation of American interests. Really? Is that the standard we live by these days? As long as you "truly BELIEVE" what you're doing is right then it IS right? Hitler truly believed killing Jews was ok. The robber truly believes he's taking money for the right reasons. There's not a jerk on Earth who doesn't truly BELIEVE it's ok to be a jerk. No, the standard is not what is right for you, your party, or your political career. The standard is what is right for your country.
And before you leave: Yes, I do disapprove of the Republican congressmen going also. I disapprove of the GOP hopefuls not speaking up.

We have three branches of government and none are doing a good enough job at their own roles to be feeling like they should be free-lancing their talents out to another branch.
Also, the question for all you "Is there a question in there" folks - No matter what ideology you are, is doing what you believe is right make for a good argument? And point to GWB bad behavior to sidestep the issue if you want, but I'll give the points to someone who can apply the same standard across-the board.

Honestly my problem isnt so much that she violated United States foriegn policy or broke federal law but her real reasons for doing it. No matter how I look at it I keep coming back to the fact that she wanted to publicly disrespect and embarass the sitting president and that she couldve very easily gone over her intentions with him for this trip and gained approval.

"No matter what ideology you are, is doing what you believe is right make for a good argument?"
It could be a plausible excuse. You can plead ignorance. You try something you think is the right thing to do, it turns out to be a bad idea, you admit it, maybe learn from it.
OTOH, if it's a moral question, yes, you can and should stick to your convictions - but you should also be ready to accept the consequences.

In your personal life, doing what you believe to be right is acceptable and often practiced. When you possibly hold the future of an entire country in your hands, doing what you believe to be right is not the answer.

Absolutes are passe. Constitutional violations are acceptable, apparently, if there is sufficient rationalization for it.
Remind anyone of Noah?

There's nothing wrong with an elected Congresswoman doing diplomacy....members of Congress have done it for years.
