Here, I'll take the bait for you.
What do I think it is? I think it's murky, abused, subject to massive wim and interpretation, and not legally binding. However, I understand its advantages and neccesity in alot of cases.

I think the privelege is all about seperation of powers. COTUS has its powers, SCOTUS has its powers and POTUS has his.

You mean after he's retired, the president or whomever gets to have one secret service assasination hit on a person of his choice. Gratis, no questions asked?

It's not mentioned in the Constitution so there shouldn't be any. It's a last ditch play of the president to try and hide information from the house and public most of the time I've heard the word.

Yeah, thats exactly what I was saying. It's not legally binding, and is vastly used to cover up things the administration in question would find damaging.

I'm willing to give those people privilege. PS I'm going to make many spelling and grammatical errors. You will have to deal with it. |
