Brazen schemes to help your people and hurt your political enemies. It’s like Jamaican politics came here, in the form of a greaseball grifter family.
I wonder how long it will take to clean up this mess...or if we will be forever changed by it.
I guess you guys just thought you would be in power all the time.
The bottom line is this: When designing your form of government, it is best to assume you will be out of power more than you are in power...or at least a 50-50 split. And don't try to limit checks and balances when you are in power so you can do good (as you define it), and then be shocked and dismayed when the other side does the same thing.
I was hoping Trump would wake you guys up, but I don't think you want a systemic fix to the problem you just called out. you just want to get back into power. You want Jamaica-Democrat politics, not neutral constitutional republic politics.

asserting EP which is found nowhere in there.
It’s done for one reason to avoid oversight. The issue is whether there is a legit reason like Nat Security to do so.
Have we been a third world country since JFK?
Oh, I know your answer - when they did it, it was ok, but when Trump does it, it's bad!
Why is it okay here then?
Try to give a non partisan answer to prove that you may have some semblance of a brain.
No Orange didn’t “start the fire” but he sure threw a barrel of napalm on it. Are you for or against executive power overreach?
If not, why not?
If so, why is Trump wrong here?

The Nixon case recognized and limited it.
For deliberative process privilege (what’s at issue here), my view is for the executive to avoid Article 1 oversight, it has to assert some compelling national security or other interest. I don’t see one in this instance. If not, it can’t be used simply to avoid that oversight, I.e., stonewalling.
the policy directions of the Admin? Can't the president talk freely with his aides about how to shape policy? Why does Congress even need those discussions?
as was sought with Lerner? To determine if the executive is properly following the law.......psst it’s called oversight.
Also, this has nothing to do with direct presidential communication. That’s another facet of the privilege.

Too bad Anthony Weiner let a few texts go public. Those are images no one needs to have in their memory.
What say you here, Mr. Consistency?
Hillary doing Yoga, sorry for the visual...
