If I understand correctly 0 must give in writing his reason for using EP. There are only three or four legitimate reason to uses EP. Not only has he not given reason, but they do not apply to this case. WithHolder has forgotten 0 is not his client. He represents the AMerican People...and not just His People....so much for Just-US!

Haven't seen your ping (after a refresh) about info on how this proceeds, but I can comment on the above. This morning on Fox News, judge Napolitano addressed this. There are 4 areas credited by the SP that are covered by presidential executive privilege. The two that pertain are national security and privileged discussions/communications of the president that cover the other 3.

It may be that the administration will claim this falls within national security, but that would be difficult to defend. How would our purposely arming drug cartels in Mexico be a benefit to our national security? OTOH, the second defense draws in the president's knowledge of not only the program, but these emails which, to them, are the direct benefit of his claim?

What's still interesting to me is, I haven't heard yet that the committee has received any direct notice from the WH on the claim of EP. It's only come through Holder. That, to me,opens up a broad range of speculation...

Oops. When I wrote “SP” in my post #63, I meant “SC” for Supreme Court. Sorry.
