The Answer to Executive Privilege
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 09:29 PM by SnoopDog
It is called Congressional Privilege. And since the Constitution places the Legislative branch first - they take precedence!

Congressional Privilege isn't in the Constitution but neither is Executive Privilege.

3. Sounds like a slam dunk to me. Take THAT, you weaselly bastards!
Not swearing to tell the truth, and no transcripts? Gimme a fa-reakin' break!

4. Answer #2 to EP
By offering to allow Rove & Miers to testify, albeit without transcripts or oaths, the WH has abandoned EP. If Rove & Miers can speak without oaths or transcripts, then there can be no harm to the more formal arrangement.

5. Can somebody tell that to Pat Buchanan?
I love to watch him sputter nonsensical refutations that even he knows in his heart are total bullshit.
