"Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right"

Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR), member of the U.S. House on the Homeland Security Committee, is permitted to see classified documents, yet this administration oddly denied DeFazio access. He has no idea on what grounds this was decided stating, "I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack....Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right."

In fact, Norm Ornstein, a legal scholar at the right-wing American Enterprise Institute, said he "cannot think of one good reason" to deny access to DeFazio and continued, "I find it inexplicable and probably reflective of the usual, knee-jerk overextension of executive power that we see from this White House." This from a conservative.

DeFazio's story deserves much more attention from media outlets. It's just one more instance of this administration spitting in the faces of our founding fathers.
