I think sometimes the making of the sausage is a messy business and often misunderstood by casual observers. I do believe that the sausage making should be revealed at a time after the sausage makers have retired. I think this would satisfy the history buffs and protect the current and future civil servants who are already reluctant to serve largely because of risky potential legal expenses. I hope I have chosen the proper stance because I hate for Mr. Bill to get away with anything more than he allready has.
Something should be done about the secrecy of our huge, huge, Federal government.
Letting the Legislative branch intrude so dramatically into the Executive is not the answer. No way will the supreme Court uphold the PRA.
The beauty of an amendment is that it could apply to the Legislative Branch also, it is no accident that the Congress hasn't passed a law to expose their inner workings.
The only other Constitutional option I see is to have a standard for release so generous that a president would be impeached for fighting it and after Clinton, I don't much care for that option.
