Mark J. Rozell, a professor of public policy at George Mason University who has written a book on executive-privilege issues, called the administration's stance "astonishing." "That's a breathtakingly broad view of the president's role in this system of separation of powers," Rozell said. "What this statement is saying is the president's claim of executive privilege trumps all." .... Rozell, the George Mason professor and authority on executive privilege, said the administration's stance "is almost Nixonian in its scope and breadth of interpreting its power. Congress has no recourse at all, in the president's view. . . . It's allowing the executive to define the scope and limits of its own powers." It is beyond Nixonian, way beyond. We're going to have to invent a new word to describe it. "Cheneyesque" perhaps? Or, more brief, Cheynesque? Rovesque? Where's Shakespeare when you really need him? These people are a joke. A black sick joke.
