The White House can respond to committee demands by citing executive privilege in some circumstances, but that will likely result in court battles.

And from that fresh article...
...and who, pretty much controls the courts now? That's right, the conservatives.
/e But I have to admit, it was much nicer reading the Reuters article, than the VOX article you were slobbering over earlier. :D

Court battles ? would be awesome, because you cant do anything against facts. Excepted cheating eventually ;)

We know that. The Dems have been doing that for two years. Good thing the Supreme Court keeps smacking them down. ^^

what are you even talking about?

the House has only been republican for 8 years, while it had been controlled by the Democrats (with two very very brief interruptions) from 1932 to 1994 and was swingy since then.

and even a few months ago, holding the house looked like an uphill battle for the GOP, not "inconceivable to lose".

Your interest, even glee in this, is pretty strange. You'd think that these teeny countrie's ages would put them above this sort of behavior. :/





You can't control anything w/o the Senate. Laws can be drawn up in either chamber, both have to vote FOR the laws. Trump still has EO's and the courts to back his EO's.
