Purgegate, cont'd

MANIFESTO

More subterfuge:
President Bush's lawyers told the Republican National Committee on Tuesday not to turn over to Congress any e-mails related to the firings last year of eight U.S. attorneys before showing them to the White House.
Paul Kiel blogs about this over at TPMmuckraker, but even he has to admit, "What happens next? I don't know."

This is a rather sticky wicket and, as I've said before, may ultimately have to go to the US Supreme Court, where it could turn out to be as groundbreaking as US v. Nixon was more than thirty years ago.

The US Supreme Court doesn't have the integrity to hand down a descision like US v. Nixon anymore. Or perhaps I should be fair and say that not all of the justices do.
