Well, in any case, the spotlight is on Condi now. And I rather suspect that the Administration's protests had a Bre'r Rabbit quality-- much fuss and noise about not throwing Condi into the briar patch. The Dems will regret her appearance.

Isn't there a difference between a chief of staff and a security adviser?

I don't know if the position of "National Security Adviser" existed in 1945 ... but Leahy's relationship with FDR would've been close to that status.
I agree with the "briarpatch" scenario, though ... Condi is going to hit the ball out of the park Thursday, and the opposition is going to rue the day they made such an issue out of this.

In many of the TV interviews I've seen Condi talk about a precedent in effect since Eisenhower. Eisenhower was not president until 1953.

They should fax him a copy of his oath of office and some writing about the Founders intent on the issue of Separation of Powers. Of course, there's be no point publishing something like that in the news... Most public school grads won't get it.

Isn't there a difference between a chief of staff and a security adviser?Yes there is. But for the purposes of the White House's privilege claim, not much of one. Their argument, as I understand it (and someone is sure to correct me if I'm wrong), is a separation of powers argument, that the legislative branch has no right to compel testimony from executive-branch non-confirmed employees. In that argument, there really isn't much difference between a chief of staff and a security adviser...

The Dems NEED a black constituency who believe that they need the democrats to live and get ahead. If they figure out that they can do it on their own (as many of them are doing), then the dems will begin to lose their base. If blacks, historically the most disenfrancized and lowest socio-economic level group in this country, begin to realize that the free market, as opposed to government hand-outs and regulation, is the ticket to success, then others will begin to get that message too. There will no longer be a need for what the Dems peddle. Minorities really tend to look up to role models. People like Dr. Rice must make the Dems tremble in their boots. Remember the hispanic man who did not get approved by the judicial committee? Same issue.

Because she is their worst nightmare: a successful, intelligent, articulate, black female CONSERVATIVE. She has had the temerity to leave more than one democrat plantation.

This commission is a JOKE. Drudge pointed out on his show last night that Kean said Condi's testimony should be 'exciting'. So it's about ratings now? This is nothing but a partisan rat show and I'm angry that it will become part of history.

WE ARE NOW AT WAR, in a new Century with an Enemy that is now just around the corner and up our streets.
The President's Chief of Staff testfied before a Pearl Harbor Commission...
AFTER WORLD WAR II had already been won by US, thanks in part to the secrecy kept between a wartime President and his advisors.
