Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency. — 2009

My Take – This ‘transparent’ administration just told the courts they have no business deciding whether or not the executive branch needs to comply with congressional subpoenas when it’s quite likely a crime was committed by members of the administration.  How exactly do you invoke executive privilege, which is supposed to protect communications between the president and his advisors, in a matter in which your advisors claim they had no knowledge?

I am seriously waiting for Fred Thompson to say “What did the President know, and when did he know it?”.  Forget the second coming of Jimmy Carter, is Obama the second coming of Richard Nixon?
