Go back and read it again.

Because such appearances before congressional committees or subcommittees seemingly could - result in demands for advice proffered to the President, or the disclosure — inadvertent or otherwise — of such advice, there has been resistance, from time to time, by the Chief Executive to allowing such testimony.

That means Congressional Oversight Hearings, not civic criminal trials. 

And from the post before:

The President's need for complete candor and objectivity from advisers calls for great deference from the courts. However, when the privilege depends solely on the broad, undifferentiated claim of public interest in the confidentiality of such conversations, a confrontation with other values arises. Absent a claim of need to protect military, diplomatic, or sensitive national security secrets, we find it difficult to accept the argument that even the very important interest in confidentiality of Presidential communications is significantly diminished by production of such material for in camera inspection with all the protection that a district court will be obliged to provide.

Congress has a constitutionally rooted right of access to the information it needs to perform its Article I legislative and oversight functions. Generally, a
congressional committee with jurisdiction over the subject matter, which is
conducting an authorized investigation Not a fishing expitdition as is occuring now for legislative or oversight purposes, has a right to information held by the executive branch in the absence of either a valid claim of constitutional privilege by the executive Bush has this, they serve at his pleasure or a statutory provision whereby Congress has limited its constitutional right to information.

Thanks for the link Puella.  It seems to agree with me since Bush does have a valid claim of constittional priviledge.  Congress has no oversight of people who serve at Bushes whim.  And its a fishing expition.  We can disagree untill we are blue in the face, but ultimatley the courts will decide, not you or I.

But hey bring it on, Bush isn't running agian and this will allow Rep Canditates for President to triangulate away from Bush and a Democratic majority interested in symbolic acts and wasting time on crap like this.
