Executive Privlidge

Our city government is acting out a miniature version of George Bush's constitutional struggles with Congress over executive power and legislative oversight. Like Bush, Nagin and his legal advisers are claiming something very like "executive privlidge" and ordering subordinates to ignore subpoenas to appear before the City Council in order to discuss the seemingly minor issue of a broken air conditioner. And, like Bush, Nagin is poised to win the political face-off by virtue of his own stubbornness and a few well-placed code words. See Celcus and his various commenters for more.

And Adrastos has more as well
