All year long we have been hearing that noone is above the law and accusations of expansion of executive power. Now, the same Congress acts as if it thinks it is above the law. I believe that has been the issue all along. Congress chaffes at the checks and balances. In this case, what they are doing is patently unconstitutional. The law gives the power to review and Ok a business deal to a committee of agency heads, not the appropriations committee. I hope the UAE sues.
So it's ok if the Bush Administration conducts this deal in secret with no transparrancy or overview by congress. All of it in the dark, but it's not ok for Congress to perform it's oversite of this secret deal?
Show me the minutes of these secret meetings and I might change my mind.
We are in complete agreement. LOL
