Never before in the history of the United States of America has there been such a flagrant abuse of the concept of "Executive Privilege" to cover up wrongdoing and downright criminality, disregard for the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States of America. The criminal Bush and his criminal cohorts have woven their unlawful web of deceit, lies and vile machinations in order to subvert the Rule of Due Process of the Law and tried to bamboozle and flummox the people of America into believing their out-and-out lies and flawed rationale for non-compliance with requests from the Legislative Branch of Congress to answer questions, which if answered truthfully(something that will never happen from their side) would convict them of malfeasence and wrongdoing and BREAKING THE LAW without a doubt. Therefore their claim of "Executive Privilege" like a TARNHELM to invisibly vanish from the "prying eyes" of VERITAS, which would expose their HIGH CRIMES to public light and of course, the subsequent PUNISHMENT for their BREAKING THE RULE OF LAW OF THE LAND, which Bush and his cohorts are doing now even as we speak. The "New Tools" that Congress needs to fight back would be a type of summons which cannot be refused by the Executive Branch under the excuse of "Executive Privilege," which would make the very act of refusal to comply with that special summons a FEDERAL CRIME with the appropriate punishments for non-compliance. No legal argument from the White House, nor even the Supreme Court, could counter such a special Congressional summons to appear, under oath, taped testimony and NO EXCEPTIONS or deals from the White House would be accepted. It's HIGH TIME we acted and brought the runaway Executive Branch of government under control and brought the COMMON CRIMINAL Bush and his COMMON CRIMINAL cohorts to justice!
