This is huge. It's one of those kind of things that one side cheers about when it happens, but will eventually come back to bite them on the ass. People on both sides don't appreciate the hugeness of this. The Trump defenders are mad because it's Trump, and the Trump haters are happy because it's Trump, with neither side really understanding what just happened. Up until now, EVERY president has defended executive privilege as a part of defending the OFFICE. This is important because presidents have meetings with all manner of people for all manner of reasons. The president can't get honest advice if the people he is talking to don't have confidence that what they say won't end up on the front page of the New York Times. Biden is the first president to not defend the idea of executive privilege, and the court allowing it to pass, is even crazier. In my adult lifetime, since I've been paying close attention to politics, it never mattered about who the president was. Clinton defended George H.W. Bush when congress wanted his records. George W. Bush defended Clinton when congress wanted his records. Obama defended George W. Bush when congress wanted his records. Trump defended Obama when congress wanted his records. Biden is the first to break that, and it will come back to haunt every future president, and it isn't good for any of us, no matter which team you're on.
