House Judiciary Committee Demands NSA Records
So, do you think that the Administration will turn over the information? Or how quickly will they invoke security concerns? Is it permissible for one branch of government to keep its actions "secret" from another branch of government? If so, under what circumstances? Nixon attempted this, and it almost caused a constitutional crisis, but then it was the Judiciary vs. the Executive. Are there different rules when we are talking the Legislative vs. the Executive?
House Judiciary Committee Demands NSA Records:
In a surprise move Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee passed a resolution that demands the Administration turn over requests made by the NSA and other federal agencies to phone companies to obtain information about ordinary Americans without warrants. The resolution had the support of Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who promised to seek a vote on the resolution from the full House if the Administration does not comply with his requests for information.
