FLASHBACK: After Invoking Executive Privilege, Reid Accuses Bush of Acting Like King

Sen. Reid once thought executive privilege was an abuse of power

Speaking July 27th, 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says President Bush is acting like a king for invoking executive privilege: “It’s hard for me to comprehend how logically, politically, realistically, constitutionally, the president can do this. It’s like saying ‘I’m king,’ and that’s not the country we live in. He’s not King George, he’s President Bush.”
