- crusso 14y agoIf there were any justice in our system, lawmakers who put that confidentiality clause in there could be sued for dereliction of duty and/or negligence. The same goes for Bush for not vetoing it and thus breaking his oath to uphold the Constitution. It's one thing for lawmakers to get tripped up on finer points of Constitutional law with which the Supreme Court disagrees with. It's quite another to just play this "catch me if you can" game trying to push the limits of what is possible while ignoring the Bill of Rights.
