The Speech and Debate Clause
protects members of Congress who discuss executive wrongdoing on the floor. There are
means to avoid violating oaths/affirmation of secrecy. And, losing the privilege of viewing classified info or an ethical violation doesn't justify aiding and abetting of
this sort of thing. There are Dem/Rep/Bush Dog
differences (see Glenn Greenwald link too) but making it harder to show them -- especially for those who want to ignore them for various reasons -- well, no good excuse for that either.
