Free Republic is certainly the only place I could find someone else willing to put the Constitution of our founders above popular desires.

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.

Absolutely. What happened to "of the people by the people and for the people?"
