5. If the congressional minority has the power to force the executive, or force the judiciary

Tuesday

to force the executive, to do what is right and proper (despite executive or judicial corruption/partisanship) when it comes to executive branch records: then why don't they succeed in doing so all the time in all the matters? Because they sure don't. You think badgering them is going to change that?

The fact of the matter is that rules and laws are fictions when it comes down to it. The only way to get things done is to have power. Get that power and you will get your results. Being right and being righteous isn't enough.
