White House Refuses To Release Documents On Air-Quality Policy - washingtonpost.com

I wonder why they are constantly refusing to release documents. If they had nothing to hide, why not just release them? Or will they claim it is a national secret? lmfao

I detest this. I am a big believer in maintaining the appearance of propriety and open communication. This Adminstration always steadfastly refuses to open itself to possible criticism.

Babies.

Why is Congress constantly asking for documents?

It's the standard fight between the executive and legislative branches. Until Congress admits to its own damned wrongdoing in giving the President various powers through the Patriot Act and similar legislation, it needs to shut the hell up! Presidential policy is none of Congress' damned business except when it comes to the passage of legislation. It is not the role of Congress to dictate Administration policy!

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

I find you're approval of the executive acting without accountability odd when juxtaposed with your normally libertarian views...

I'm not approving the executive branch being without accountability, I'm simply not accepting the right of the legislative branch to demand the President provide documents. There is nothing in Article I, Section 8 (the scope of legislative branch powers) of the Constitution giving Congress the authority to demand documents or even testimony regarding Administration policy.

There is the freedom on information act, but I would have to see if this would qualify.

Some of the worst of all offenders for greenhouse gas emissions are Bush billionaire supporters. I posted an article a couple of years ago about a plant that was one of the worst of all violators of emission standards making donations to the 2000 and 2004 Bush campaigns and by no random accident has had no government pressure to change.

The bottom line is Bush is perhaps the most total corporate prostitute president in US History. That problem is magnified by a total arrogance of power, as if there are no checks and balances.

There is the freedom of information act, and the "Presidential Transparency" legislation. And his claim for executive privilege to hide Rove partisan use of the Justice Department is total BS. At best, this applies only to situations where the president is involved directly himself.

It is called stone walling. The stone walls need to get ripped to shreds.
