No historian, legal scholar, or scholar of any type here. But as to executive privilege, I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. Isn't it pretty much a made-up thing, an idea and practice promulgated from the Eisenhower era and not codified into actual law? And while it may be a now long-practiced rule and "norm", and an often practical and useful one, since DFn'T and his cadre of Rule & Norm Busters were all about slaughtering a whole herd of more or less sacred cows, perhaps it's time for some serious exsanguination on this particular one. And what better place to apply the blade than in the shop of the Head Butcher himself? All this EP BS is as appalling as nearly everything else you covered in Morning Shots today.
Btw...Can't say as I care for some of Liz Cheney's politics. But props to her for parkin' her backside in that seat on the Jan. 06 Committee, sitting up ramrod straight and speaking the truth without so much as a blink. All day, every day. She certainly has earned my respect and gratitude for that.
Had DFn'T had balls as big as hers while his sorry ass was seated in the Oval Office with his slimy little mitts directly on the levers of power, things would have turned out much differently. Lucky for us he is, in actuality, that thing he said he was so fond of grabbing. Problem is, too many of the a-holes surrounding him are not. And we need more people like Cheney to kick 'em all right in the nuts. And to keep on kickin' until they can't even crawl, much less walk upright.
Go girl!
