<<Government can't function if every conversation, every forum is subject to a Congressman's whim. (Nor could Congress function if every meeting a C-person ever had with anyone had to be documented and given to the public. Our government is dysfunctional enough already.) We'll see what the courts have to say about executive privilege and the separation of powers.>>

But our government is supposed to be open. That the present government can't function within its constitutional authority is not a valid argument for it to be allowed to do so. Its a red flag for the citizens to try to get the genie back in the bottle. Look at it this way. If a killer is let loose because of a lack of detention space, should he should be excused from killing because we can't lock him up? The solution, to me, would involve getting him back into prison, not allowing murder.
