As I understand it, Executive Priviledge does not apply in cases where there is a felony and that is why both Nixon and Clinton could not claim it.

If the Democrats issue subpeonas as they have threatened to do, it will probably be settled in court.

Bush is simply doing what any other president would do to protect the rights of the Executive branch of govenment.

He has made a reasonable offer to compromise with the Democrats but they have turned him down. If I didn't know how righteous the Democrats are, I might suspect that this whole affair is based on politics.
