It seems to me that the President should not have the power to assert executive privilege to block investigations into possible criminal matters. If he does, then the whole concept of co-equal branches of the government is out the window.
The President is top tog. He can do what he wants. He is in effect, a dictator.
And you know the Right is always so quick to back curbs on civil liberties with that mantra, "If you have nothing to hide, why are you objecting? I have nothing to hide, so pass the Patriot Act and FISA why don't ya?"
But methinks they do protest a tad too much when laws tread close too 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Sauce of the goose anyone?
Now, what was that saying about "Sunlight being the best disinfectant"?
