I have heard excerpts of Gonzales' testimony, and it all stinks to me too. That's really, really sad.

I think we're in that "Constitutional crisis" right now. It's happening in slow motion, like a tug of war or a wrestling match. It's not uniform or linear. But I believe it is inexorably moving in the direction of more power to the Executive and less power for the Legislative, indeed, less power for the Judicial. The branches should be balanced, our country works better with the balance, and it's out of balance now and getting worse.

I also think that the Executive will continue to stonewall, for the next xteen years. And not just forward, but backward too. I can't remember the cite right now, but sealing, extending the period under seal for records from before his time is another example of the secrecy that is corroding the public's confidence in our government. It's soooo easy to presume the worst when the facts are unknown.
