Reach some agreement. probably theyll agree to disagree. like well pass on that question, wait to go to the court on it. i would note that question by question is the court sanctioned method to proceed. in previous cases the courts have said you need to go question by question, document by document on these assertions as opposed to what the white house council is trying to do which is just blanket assert it before they ever get there. >> and its a big issue. can the executive exert executive pri...

Period of confusion or chaotic kind of change of command because the secretary of defense is number two in that chain of command where they may do something thats thoroughly stupid, and that will cause a reaction on our part to do some real damage. >> can i ask a question that i dont feel i have a good hold on. lets say for the sake of argument that the assertions by the administration, they say relying on american intelligence, the attacks on tankers have been done by forces under the influence...
