2302 students should read the following Slate article on the relationship between executive privilege and Congress' investogative powers.
It attempts to clarify the constitutional issues at stake and the competing virtues of presidents' obtaining good advice and Congress' abilitty to ensure that that advice is not criminal in nature.
