This may be a stupid question/comment, but won’t all these files be available to the next administration? And say, there’s a Dem coming in, wouldn’t it be possible at that point for ALL the info to be provided to not only the new congress but the new, hopefully HONEST AG and USAs as well?

Or am I an idiot?

Your Q above

My A: man-sized safes

I think the answer is Bush Presidential Library–provided they find a place for it.

Scotus also set aside an antitrust law that prevented minimum pricing agreements. Kennedy said that minimum pricing can actually promote competition. The ruling overturned a 1911 Supreme Court decision.

So much for stare decisis and so much for the idea that Kennedy might be ‘the adult in the room’ who’ll keep the nuts under control.

It appears we now have a rogue SCOTUS.

What’s the remedy for that? Impeach a bunch. How do you get there? Get enough votes in Congress in the next election or “embarrass” the current Repubs so much that they go along to keep their jobs.

Where’s a whistleblower when you need one?

Amy Goodman is asking the same thing:

The subpoenas under discussion are for the “warrantless wire-tapping” case not the US Attorney firings. I’m guessing that the fired US Attorneys will be touched on, but they’re a side dish not the main course of this investigation

Thanks I should read things more carefully. Still wiretapping is an even harder sell to defend to the American people. Sure wiretapping a few Arabs wouldn’t register any concern. But wiretapping peace groups? enviromental groups? probably the Lefty blogs we are the 70% of America that already doesn’t like the war. Ussing this as a test case for Executive Privledge might just sink that concept.

How does the release of the CIA’s “Family Jewels” play into this? Just wondering.

Joe Klein’s conscience @ 104

You forgot something, despite his lip service, John Roberts doesn’t give a damn about precedent.

I heard an interesting report on NPR this AM saying that Scalia is complaining that Roberts is being dishonest in saying that he is not overturning precedent and that he should just come out and say: “Yes, we’re overturning precedent.” Even Scalia is complaining…

Here’s the NY Times article on which that report was based. (Free registration req’d.)

Turley said on Olberman that if congress claims it’s investigating a potential CRIME- then the executive privilege claim goes out the window. Could the brilliant Bush staff FORCE congress into an impeachment mode? What fuckin idiots!!

As so frequently happens, I try to read all of the comments before I put in my two cents. As usual, I come up with someone saying exactly what was on my mind, but more succinctly than I would have said it.

Kagro X wrote about the next step in re the subpoenas on warrantless wiretaps. I think what he wrote applies here too.

Interesting read about “inherent subpoenas”….

Wonder if that’s one of the directions of this whole proceeding….
