I don't see why we would give greater deference to a president's right to shield himself from Congressional inquiry in matters that deal with our national sovereignty, security, military power and war, than in matters of taxation or regulation of commerce. If anything foreign policy questions require greater moral vigor, scrupulous integrity, more sober reflection, and by extension, more congressional scrutiny rather than less.
Congress should give his communications the deference and trust that his past conduct, credibility and behavior permit and not one whit more. This President has done nothing to earn the confidence of either the legislative or judicial branch. Trusting his judgement and decency has proven a perilous mistake time and again.
