The stupidity of the press ...

The Arizona Republic (aka azcentral.com) publishes an Associated Press article by Matt Apuzzo that states:

If he [that idiot Bush] claims executive privilege and the dispute ends up in court, the fight with Congress will be refereed by a judicial branch that recently has not been kind to the presidency in fights over subpoenas. Lawmakers, meanwhile, risk seeing a judge permanently curtail their power to summon presidential aides to Capitol Hill.

What this President, the Republicans and, apparently most of the press, want is for the Democrats to decide not to press for their [Congress'] right to investigate the Legislative Branch of the government. If the Democrats are so stupid as to back off from this challenge from Bush then they follow the same path they followed with the filibuster. They save the right for the Republicans and all but give up their ability to ever do anything at all. If the courts side with the administration then the next Democratic President will also be independent of Congress. I can't believe anyone wants that. But if this administration and the courts want it so, then quoting someone from StarTrek, I say "Make it so!"
