Update: Stupidly, I failed to note when it would occur: 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. pacific. My bad.
As you may have heard, the President asserted executive privilege over some of the documents being sought in the fast and furious scandal. Well, liberal friend and blog talk radio host John Smart has asked me to appear on this show and you can listen here at this link.

And if you want to do homework to get ready, there is one major case to read before tonight: U.S. v. Nixon. Yes, that Nixon. I suggest you just read the facts, and skip over the parts on jurisdiction and justiciability and jump right into the stuff on executive privilege.
By the way, a free legal vocabulary lesson. When they say “in camera” it is law latin for “in chambers”—meaning the judge looking at whatever it is him or herself, with no one else present. That will be relevant in reading the case.
I will now flog myself for making that inexcusably bad pun, again, in the title of the post. My apologies.
