The EPA's Executive Privilege

And the DemocraPs just gave tortures and telecoms immunity. How sweet!

Even with a change of administrations, readers, the truth will still be hidden.

Just check out Waxman's response in the piece

"Executive privilege cited in EPA dispute" by Erica Werner, Associated Press | June 21, 2008

WASHINGTON - President Bush asserted executive privilege yesterday to withhold documents from a congressional investigation into whether he pressured EPA to weaken decisions on smog and greenhouse gases.

White House officials notified a House committee of the rare assertion about 15 minutes before the committee was to vote on holding the head of the EPA and a White House budget official in contempt of Congress for not providing the documents.

The committee's chairman, Representative Henry Waxman, Democrat of California, canceled the vote.... Waxman said he wanted to review Attorney General Michael Mukasey's rationale for the executive privilege claim before deciding what to do next....

Word is he let out a little poot of hot fart mist, and that's all.

Executive privilege, while not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, is grounded in the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers and is sometimes invoked to keep executive branch deliberations private...."

Well, if it is NOT EXPLICITLY MENTIONED in the Constitution, then it SHOULDN'T EXIST, should it?

We no longer have a Constitution then, and it is very apparent that the politicians don't care.

Why should they when they are all getting rich?
