| Analogy is not equivalence. And the fact that the people of Washington prefer to operate under the theory that everything is there business says nothing about the theory. I could point out, for example, that the Supreme Court affirms the doctrine of executive privilege, although the boundaries are not clear.

Meetings are closed under certain conditions, open under others. There is absolutely no requirement to open party caucuses or leadership meetings. Etc. In other words, the Supreme Court affirms the "reasonable accountability" standard, not the "transparency" standard..... |
