You didnt answer my question.
How do you ensure that the rule of law is followed when actions are based on secret memos (
including being withheld from Congress) that may be questionable in their interpretation of the law?
Congress cant conduct appropriate authority and oversight w/o having access to documents that explain WTF the administration is doing or intending to do based on internal (and unilateral) legal interpretations of the law.
These documents have been withheld from Congress..that is a fact! On every request by the Judiciary Committees in both the House and Senate, the previous White House denied the request with dubious claims of executive privilege.
