9. That cynicism as you put it, is exactly what Dennis Kucinich is saying
Right now we the administration will not allow people to testify before congress claiming executive privledge. This is a most dangerous precident, and if Congress DOES NOT pursue contempt charges, they will have effectively given complete control to the executive branch. Not just for now, but for subsequent generations, and that will be unforgivable

I am concerned with the position on the war effort and such, and I even accept debate, but I will NOT accept it if Congress allows the executive branch to order someone not to testify before congress, and congress lets that stand. That action will have condemned this country to much worse than an involvement in an illegal war, that action will have destroyed the seperation of powers, and quite possibly the prelude to the destruction of our Republic

Will Congress LET THAT STAND?
