Snow: Congress "Doesn't Have Oversight Ability"

Constitutional scholar Tony Snow on ABC this morning:

The executive branch is under no compulsion to testify to Congress, because Congress in fact doesn't have oversight ability. So what we’ve said is we’re going to reach out to you – we’ll give you every communication between the White House, the Justice Department, the Congress, anybody on the outside, any kind of communication that would indicate any kind of activity outside, and at the same time, we’ll make available to you any of the officiels you want to talk to …knowing full well that anything they said is still subject to legal scrutiny, and the members of Congress know that.

According to Bush's unitary executive theory, the president is the "boss" and members of congress are his "employees". Regular Americans, if I'm getting the theory right, are the "peons". We get to vote every few years, but our votes don't count.

I think that's the way it works...

Gather round children - it's story time!

Once there was a neighborhood, where the children decided to have a club. One child had a rich daddy and that child’s daddy wanted his kid to have more than other kids. His kid already had a lot of toys, but daddy wanted his kid to be important. So the daddy gave candy to all the kids and told them his little boy should be head of the club. And the other children went along. They held an election and the spoiled little boy got to be head of the club.

But the daddy still was not satisfied. His little boy wasn’t important enough yet. He gave more candy to the kids and suggested they should all get together and write up some rules for the club. He even gave his spoiled son some ideas for rules. And the other children went along. Pretty soon they had rules so the spoiled kid could make up any rules he wanted and be the only one to keep all the candy.

The spoiled kid said he needed to spy to make sure no one else was eating too much candy. And pretty soon he started telling everyone that one kid had his own store of candy, a big one. He got all the kids together to go over there and beat that kid up, even though no one checked to see if the candy was really there! And the other children went along. And pretty soon they began to be afraid that maybe somebody would come and beat them up too.

But the daddy still wasn’t satisfied. He wanted his kid to be even more important. But that’s when the other grown-ups got really, really mad – and decided to protect their kids.

The grown-ups went to tpm and learned that their neighborhood was not the only place where these bad things were happening.

(This part of the story is still happening… so we’ll have to wait to see how it turns out - but the grown-ups opened their wallets and made sure tpm could keep telling stories - so the kids and the grown-ups could all be protected - and live happily ever after)

For the past six years this administration has been very focused on the type of information it releases through its various mouthpieces. I say that only because I would like to believe that Snow is just talking out of his butt, and unaware of his idiocy, but unfortunately, based on the history we have, he IS probably channeling Bushco. This then means that Bush and his handlers want to put this mindset out into the MSM to try to create confusion on congress' role. It won't work, in my opinion, as I feel the majority of people have become disillusioned with the lies, and wise to the rhetoric.

I hope.

J. Thomason wrote on March 22, 2007 2:03 PM:

Its all a double-dog dare to institute impeachment proceedings. If Congress has the power to convict for high crimes and misdemeanors the subpoena power follows. I do suppose the executive could plead the 5th. There is no sovereign immunity loop hole in that provision. The wager Bush makes continues to bank on the loyalty of Republican Senators. Of course this all presumes the Constitution will prevail.

jeffs wrote on March 22, 2007 2:03 PM:

There are multiple possible paths. None of them will be quick, and all will be painful. One hopes that Bush will be true to his history and cave when the pressure is on. He likes to talk big, but he always caves.

Well, yeah. But the lawyers are being paid by

by the American people. And while I think they
shouldn't have their feet held to the fire for
discussing crazy ideas which are never implemented,
they should definitely be accountable to explain the
reasoning behind the ideas which *are* implemented.

The other mystery here is that by statute, the
US Attorneys can only be fired by the President:
and yet in this case 8 US Attorneys think they
were fired, and Bush says he never had any
discussions about it. Who's running the shop ?
Who fired them, and why ? And did they have
authority from Bush to do so ?

Not quite. I think you are referring to a "work product" privilege. In any case, that isn't what we have here, at all. This isn't an attorney and his staff preparing for litigation.
This doesn't even involve litigation or the solicitation of legal advice.

D.C. for enforcement. He (if he's a 'loyal Bushie') could simply refuse to bring prosecution, as was apparently done by the D.C. U.S. Attorney back in '83. I don't have any more background on that case. Can someone help me out?

Now, if the person saying that were wearing a military uniform and standing, oh, say, in some undisclosed location in a forest somewheres or even a naval ship, I would call that an attempted military coup! A mutiny of a rogue governmental unti at the least.

Irrespective of the ultimate results in this matter, that stance by the White House IS a constitutional crisis.

"We operate as an island unto ourselves, answering to no one in this nation."

So what happens? The subpoenas get served. White House people don't show up. Do we send MPs to round them up and drag them there? Does the WH put loyal military men at the gates to prevent Congress from entering and dragging the public servants to the hearing?

I can hardly get my mind around this! The White House is a roguish, mutinous band of thugs. They are occupying the seat of power illegaly as far as I am concerned.

Following that, it could and probably would get very complex and very ugly. And Bush's stacked Supreme Court just mind find in favor of executive privilege, no matter what the Constitution says.

I"m not so sure that this would be turned over to the USA for the District of the District of Columbia. I would think that the Chairs who issued the subpoenas could go into court and seek enforcement. This canard that it would take months if not years to play out is simply divorced from the speed the courts can move if properly motivated (constitutional crises fall into this category). Also, it would be a summary action. The questions presented and the fact finding is extremely limited and can be summed up thusly - does the Congress have the authority to compel testimony from White House personnel. The delicious irony of having the R stocked D.C. Circuit apply the smackdown to this "unitary executive" bull**** would be worth well worth it.

dcs wrote on March 22, 2007 2:27 PM:

Two rarely-traveled legal paths might be taken. Hold the subpoenaed staffers in contempt of Congress and issue arrest warrants. This might not go over so well, but it is probably a legal option.

Less direct, but probably more potent, would be to charge Gonzales with providing false testimony to Congress, but I don't know the mechanics. Who issues a warrant for arrest? Who enforces it?

DPS wrote on March 22, 2007 2:28 PM:

Richard,

I think the USAs weren't fired but rather tendered their resignations upon request. So, really anybody could *ask* them to resign, with or without the president's knowledge, although the USAs would assume that the request came with the President's approval. Only in an instance in which they actually had to be terminated would it officially have to go through him.

JB wrote on March 22, 2007 2:28 PM:

Do executive privilege and immunities protect the President or his staff from testifying to Congress? In United States v. Nixon the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution contained a presumptive, non-absolute executive privilege, but the privilege did not extend so far as to shield the Watergate tapes, and Nixon had to turn them over to a special prosecutor. It seems to me that given the composition of the Supreme Court, this might be a bad time for Congress to engage in a judicial showdown with the Executive Branch over Executive Branch powers. Moreover, it would shift the debate away from the issue at hand - information the White House is withholding - to the issue of separation of powers. If only the majority in Congress or an outcry from the public were able to force the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the firings.

Funny. With Charlie Gibson he said that they DO have oversight authority. I wonder in which order these took place.

Robert wrote on March 22, 2007 2:33 PM:

This is tricky ground, because the Constitution doesn't state that Congress has the any right to supervise the Executive Branch. In fact, the sole item in the Constitution that might be applicable is

Article II, Section 4 - Disqualification

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

This basically gives Congress the option of subpoenaing individutal members of the Executive Branch. If they fail to appear, they can be held in contempt of Congress, in which instance Congress can approve a resolution which must then be prosecuted by a US Attorney.

While the behavior of the President is reprehensible, it would be hard to argue that it falls under Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

epv wrote on March 22, 2007 2:33 PM:

This is frightening. Clearly the Bush administration represent a neo-con type of proto-fascist regime, grabbing as much dictatorial power as the American people will let them get away with... Bush wants to be King, and my goodness, he is enabled by the opportunists- jackals- war-mongers- and oil-whores who surround him.

Bush and Rove, using Tony-boy Snow as their brain-dead mouth-piece, are simply saying that they will make a pretense of showing-up providing that they can lie with impunity- that it's behind closed doors with no transcript- and that once finished, no more questions will be asked (i.e. no follow-up)... This is so outrageous as to border on treason.

Executive Privilege does not permit Bush to commit any act with impunity. Bush does not have the right to commit crimes. Bush is not a King-- and indeed the Founding Fathers set-down clear provisions to ensure that Congress could (and should) take actions to censor and/or impeach a president who decided that he wanted to be King of the U.S.

High crimes & misdemeanours are, in fact, the justification, according to the U.S. Constitution, for impeachment of a president.

In other words, Bush cannot violate his oath of office- he cannot commit cover-up crimes- he cannot order crimes to be committed- and, he cannot violate or order the violation of our laws.

Why some neo-cons are trying to twist the meaning of "executive privilege" into a cloak for Bush to avoid being held accountable to "We the People" is obvious, but we should reject such sophistry and demand that Congress impeach this criminal Bush regime.

Since the Constitution doesn't specifically state the words, "The Congress shall have oversight over ...", then does 200 years of evolving pattern of practice say it does?

Does "advise and consent" apply to the Senate only? Is Congress just there to write the checks to support whatever the President decrees? That seems to be what Snow is saying. Add to that the fact that they were able to fire the USAs because it was the Congress itself that amended the Patriot Act to give them the authority to reappoint without advice and consent ...

We all thought it was pretty clear that the Constitution said that congressional redistricting could happen only once, every 10 years, after a census. The Supreme Court then turned around and said it didn't.

So is this, then, the ultimate agenda behind their rampages about "strict constructionism?" Are we now going to start interpreting the Constitution as literally as some would have us interpret the Bible?

They've either overplayed their hand completely, or we're cooked.

Meanwhile, the most horrifying thing about that video clip is not necessarily Tony Snow's statement, brazen though it may be.

The most horrifying thing about that clip is that Card-Carrying, Professional Ace Journalist Diane Sawyer didn't call him on it.

Between the brazenness of their power grabs and the incuriosity of the public and the journalists that report the news, we're cooked.

This is a dynamic situation where the WH can only hold ground if no other factual revelations appear. The issue will not be with the DOJ enforcing or not the subpeona's but whether the GOP in the Senate will join the Democrats in repugnation.

What you have is simply Bush challenging the system because the stakes are at the highest because he has something to hide that is far more reealing than the NSA spying, or the lack of warrants with the FBI or this firing episode.

This will all go to the systemic obstruction of justice and even unconstitutional abuse of powers beyond the current imagination.

Back to the Senate, the 94-2 vote was a firing across the bow to the Administration saying that they do not have carte blanche with the partisan split anymore. A further repugnation will be a core of 12-15 moderate Senators forming a caucus on their own and joining the Democrats and then holding up the government.

Stonewalling in the DOJ will do nothing with this and a filibuster immunity. Lastly.....there are smart Republicans who will fear the breakdown of the party wholesale unless they show some integrity.

Whether the Democrats in the House have the courage to do that is a good, and unanswered question.

"Evidently, Mr. Clinton wants to shield virtually any communications that take place within the White House compound on the theory that all such talk contributes in some way, shape or form to the continuing success and harmony of an administration. Taken to its logical extreme, that position would make it impossible for citizens to hold a chief executive accountable for anything. He would have a constitutional right to cover up.

Chances are that the courts will hurl such a claim out, but it will take time.

One gets the impression that Team Clinton values its survival more than most people want justice and thus will delay without qualm. But as the clock ticks, the public's faith in Mr. Clinton will ebb away for a simple reason: Most of us want no part of a president who is cynical enough to use the majesty of his office to evade the one thing he is sworn to uphold -- the rule of law."

This is a high stakes game of chicken between the White House and Congress. I'm willing to bet it will be the WH who blinks first, but that won't happen for a few more days.

Congress has nothing to lose by pressing the administration. They just need to get more comfortable with flexing the muscles they have let atrophy over the past six years. The public is on their side, and will become more vocal about the issue as it drags on.

Every time the administration goes on TV they look more desperate. This performance by Snow is a prime example. Keep up the pressure and they will cave like the craven bullies they are.

He'll have to take it back even though that's what everyone in the WH really believes. It's like Fawn Hall at the Iran/Contra hearings saying North, etc. were "above the law". She had to recant within 24 hours.

Well, no, actually. "Treason ... shall consist only in levying War ... or in adhering to their Enemies ..." etc. You could make a case that Bush has done this by effectively strengthening Al Quaeda.

I would prefer instead to impeach Bush and Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors. Like failing to uphold the laws of the land.

The comments here are reaching the level of hyper-ventilating bile-spewing that I would expect to find on a wing-nut site.

From the perspective of common sense, impeachment is not going to happen. It's only been tried twice in more than two centuries and it failed both times. It is very difficult to convict a President. Eight years ago, we were all glad that this was the case. It doesn't change just because it's their guy that we want to get rid of.

The way that Congress can oversee this, or any other, administration is by shining the cold, hard light of day upon it. Holding hearings and subpoenaing testimony forces the White House to defend their actions. Repeatedly forcing them to sputter through transparent lies in press conferences weakens their position.

To respond to earlier comments, only the Senate has "Advise and Consent" powers and it's only on the approval of certain appointed officials and on treaties. And yes, Congress' only material weapon is budgetary.

This doesn't make the Legislature ineffectual, unless it chooses to be. Congress passed the Patriot Act, it can repeal it as well.

Dr. Puck wrote on March 22, 2007 3:11 PM:

It goes like this:

1. Congress makes laws
2. Executive interprets and executes laws
3. If Congress doesn't like the executive's interpretation, it's up to some party to sue all the way up to the supreme court, so we can learn what the supreme court's re-interpretation is
4. Congress implements Supreme Court's superior interpretation in new law.

Repeat Step 2-3-4 forever

This is neither original constructionism or rationale, so I've dubbed this: Alice In Wonderland Theory of FOunder's Intent

Personal comment: the lameduck Bush administration will spend the final years of their all-time most horrific governance consolidating wonderland conceptions while core supporters laugh all the way to the bank.

Most odd element? That such hubris doesn't seem to jibe with the negative payoff for the Cheney Inc.'s egos -- without a doubt the history books will be both forthright and cruel

Brighid wrote on March 22, 2007 3:11 PM:

And, this is a flat-out lie. The Bush administration did not turn over an 18-day gap in the emails; Bush limited the number of officials who would be available, and has demanded that they not be put under oath, testify in public, or result in any transcripts from the testimony. If there is no transcript, there is no further "legal scrutiny" and he knows that.

Moreover, Congress does have oversight of the executive, as ruled through the years by the courts; they have the purse strings, and the power of subpoena by law and they have IMPEACHMENT. That is CONSTITUTIONAL, legal "oversight," Tony. The founding fathers presciently provided for Constitutional oversight of the Executive Branch.

OPENING STATEMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE HEARING

WASHINGTON, DC
APRIL 27, 2005

http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/speeches/2005/042705senateintelligence.htm

Chairman Roberts, Vice Chairman Rockefeller, and Members of the Committee:

I am pleased to be here to talk about reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act. I appreciate this opportunity to come before Congress to discuss our successes in the war on terror and to find new ways to fight for freedom more effectively and consistent with the values that we all cherish as Americans...


....The PATRIOT Act was a swift and decisive response to the attacks of September 11. In the weeks and months following the attacks in Washington, Pennsylvania, and New York, Democrats and Republicans came together to address the vulnerabilities in our nation’s defenses. Both Congress and the Administration worked with experienced law enforcement, intelligence, and national security personnel to design legislation to better protect the American people. Although there was extensive consideration in 2001, and although it is unusual to impose sunsets on statutory investigative tools, Congress included sunsets on certain provisions of the PATRIOT Act because members wanted to ensure that we were not risking the very liberties we were setting out to defend.

Today, we can all be proud. The track record established over the past three years has demonstrated the effectiveness of the safeguards of civil liberties put in place when the Act was passed. There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse. Our Nation is stronger and safer. Our bipartisan work has been a success. The Department of Justice has exercised care and restraint in the use of these important authorities because we are committed to the rule of law. We have followed the law because it is the law, not because it is scheduled to sunset. With or without sunsets, our dedication to the rule of law will continue.

The Department will strive to continue to carry out its work lawfully and appropriately and as a citizen I expect Congress will continue its active oversight over our use of the PATRIOT Act – not because of sunsets – but because oversight is the constitutional responsibility of Congress. So, given the Department’s record in using these authorities, the obvious effectiveness of these tools in stopping violent crimes and protecting our Nation, and the authority of Congress to reexamine these provisions at any time to correct abuses, the sunset provisions are, in my judgment, no longer necessary and should be repealed.....

"hyper-ventilating bile-spewing" comments?

When the republic is in as much danger as it has been since the Civil War it's hard to see what is being overstated. This administration will keep pushing towards the cliff edge, and nothing else will stop them.

This is what impeachment was made for. It will happen.

Sholom wrote on March 22, 2007 3:27 PM:

Off topic -- re: Tom DeLay doing interviews promoting his book

A description of an interview Tom DeLay had with Chris Matthews (from, perhaps dailykos? can't remember):

Matthews grilled DeLay about passages in his book where he apparently ripped into fellow corrupt Texan Dick Armey, eventually asking the Hammer about describing Armey as "drunk with ambition." DeLay denied writing that. "I wrote that he was 'blinded by his ambition.'" Matthews starts flipping though the book and finds the "drunk with ambition" quote and reads it to Bug Man. And DeLay keeps denying it. Finally, Chris hands the book to Tom and tells him to read it himself. DeLay looks down, pauses, and says "I don't have my glasses."

Uncle Don wrote on March 22, 2007 3:31 PM:

Article I of the Constitution vests the legislative power in the Congress of the United States.

In order to legislate, Congress must have the power to investigate. Once Congress has legislated, it has the power to investigate to determine if the laws enacted are being executed properly.

If there is a legislative intent or purpose behind any Congressional investigate, then the power of Congress is virtually absolute. The Executive Branch cannot not constitutionally refuse to provide information sought by Congress. If such information pertains to national security, state secrets and the like, it can be produced in a private session and classified as "secret." But it cannot be withheld from Congress, which acts as the reprsentative of the people and the states.

I agree with the comments above that the Bush regime apparently fears the revelation of much worse crimes than the firing of seven U. S. Attorneys, which may have had the effect of obstructing justice or abuse of presidential power.

Yeah, well I think the Clinton impeachment lowered the bar pretty far on the 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors' part of that. Thanks to the GOP witch-hunt, high crimes and misdemeanors means whatever Congress wants it to.

Julie: "Since the Constitution doesn't specifically state the words, "The Congress shall have oversight over ...", then does 200 years of evolving pattern of practice say it does?"

The Constitution doesn't specifically mention 'executive privilege' either, but if you listen to the White House, God himself handed it down to Moses on the tablets.

Funny how 'strict constructionism' always works out to benefit the right.

Snow is really embarresing himself badly lately.
While McClellan would stammer and stutter, Tony Snowjob just spews tons of made up nonsense that he's going to get rammed back down his throat in the future when the shoe is on the other foot.
He is melting down before our very eyes.
Here's a Fox "News" partisan pundit acting as White House Spokesperson and lately whenever he gets asked a ligitimate question, he immediately smears the questioner as being a partisan.
Can you get any more "Alice in Wonderland" than that?
Some White House reporter should ask Tony Snowjob how much he's enjoying his job now, since he's the one getting lied to by the Bushies this time and he has to face the nation and pass along Bush's lies.
Rmember when Snowjob said "This is the bestest job in the world and George W. Bush is my idol"?

Mark F, Frederick:

Bush has proven willing to cave on a lot of "little things", but this is about his "grade" as President. Avert impeachment or too many convictions of top associates, and the myth-making machine will go into overdrive rewriting history with George W. Bush as the greatest president since Lincoln (with the possible exception of our "all time greatest" President Ronnie).

But if he get bulldozed by a tremendous pile of convictions and Republican Senators abandon him in droves, it the mythmaking machine might have trouble winding up sufficient steam to make him anything other than "worst president ever."

THIS is something Bush cares about. He'll never cave on TAX CUTS and he'll never cave on the OCCUPATION of Iraq, and he'll never cave on his COVER UP.

Unless of course, Democrats wake up and decide to make him choose among those things.
