Snow Updates Constitution

The Carpetbagger Report » Blog Archive » Oversight over the White House

"...Keep in mind, based on Snow’s comments today, this isn’t the executive privilege argument, this is the executive privilege argument on crack. The principle of executive privilege, while fluid, addresses a president’s need for candor from advisors. As the president said the other day, “[I]f the staff of a President operated in constant fear of being hauled before various committees to discuss internal deliberations, the President would not receive candid advice, and the American people would be ill-served.”

So the White House doesn't respond to the will of the people, eh? If Congress jerks funding for the White House...

better ill-served than not served at all.
