Otto....IMO, you are attempting to compare single examples from past administrations to the day-to-day practices of this administration....like excessive signing statements to impose its own interpretation of laws enacted by Congress, shredding or loosing hundreds of thousands of e-mails and other attempts to block nearly every recent Congressional oversight investigation, classifying almost every document that comes out of the WH as "classified" (including visitor logs), editing reports coming out of executive branch agencies that may be counter to the WH ideology.......
