Executive Privilege

Well it seems that we are going to have a battle over executive privilege. Democrat Senators are demanding that the White House turn over documents in the flap over the firing of eight US attorneys. Eight people that serve at the pleasure of the president were let go at the president’s prerogative and that is a crime to democrats. Unfortunately there is this document that is called the constitution, for you liberals that’s con•sti•tu•tion, and it defines three branches of government those are:

The Executive branch headed up by the President
The Legislative branch made up of congress
The Judicial branch made up of the federal court system

Now it will surprise many of you liberals to know that all three of these branches have equal power in government. This means that the president is not subservient to the Legislative or Judicial branches of government. This is something that Patrick Leahy and John Conyers don’t seem to understand. How arrogant of them to think that the President must turn over documents to them. My response would be simple, to the point, and concise:

Dear Senator Leahy / Congressman Conyers,
You have no constitutional authority to request the documents that you have requested. The executive branch of government is not subservient to congress. You can move this to the courts if you wish but as the legislative branch has no authority on this matter neither does the judicial branch so any decision rendered by them would not be relevant.

Sincerely,
George W. Bush

This would inflame the left but it is the facts. They have nothing to say in this matter, they could litigate this all the way to the supreme court and even if they sided with Leahy and Conyers big deal the White House could refuse to enforce the decision on grounds that this is executive privilege and that would be it. The only thing they could do after that is impeach him and even with Libs in charge of the House they wouldn’t have enough votes to do it.
