Rice to testify under oath and in public

The White House finally relents. Any bets on whether she tells the truth? I would bet she doesn't, if only to protect her boss...

Sam has yet another reason Dr. Rice's arguments were specious: we still live in a republic, despite the President's attempts to expand the powers of the Imperial Presidency. The whole concept of checks and balances requires that the Executive branch answer to the Legislative branch, just as the Executive branch can veto acts of Congress.
