Executive Privilege and Executive Power*
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2007-07-23/executive-privilege-and-executive-power
The administration says Congress can not use the Justice Department to pursue contempt charges against White House officials when -- as in the current case in which Congress is investigating the White House role in the firings of U.S. attorneys -- the White House has invoked executive privilege. Diane and her guests talk about this claim and its political, legal, and Constitutional implications.
