Secrecy has always been a tool of dictators. An open and transparent government is the only way for trust and democracy to blossom.

Yes, some things need to be kept secret, but not everything or most things unless you have something to hide ofcourse.

"This case is about protecting the effective functioning of the vice presidency under the Constitution," attorneys wrote.

It's funny how these @!$%#s (sorry to name call, but they act like @!$%#s, so they shall be named as such) sit there and crap all over the Constitution, but they want to be defended by it when they feel they're being mistreated by "morally-confused" people.

I think they should subpoena his phone records and his emails, as well.

I think our leaders should be under 24/7 surveillance that is accessible by the public so we can dial in whenever we choose and see what they are doing. Well, except for sex. . the camera can be outside the bedroom doors. But they should not be allowed to leave their homes without us knowing what they are up to. . .
