Congressional Democrats warned House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) that his probe of how federal agencies are handling Freedom of Information Act requests could overburden the bureaucracies.

Oh, those poor bureaucrats! Having to take a break from trampling on our rights, and manuevering around Congress and the Courts to stop and actually be accountable.

I personally LIKE the prospect of a bureaucracy overburdened, bogged down, and essentially paralysed.

Wasnt there some organized effort by radical left wing groups during the Bush admin that planned on bombarding the administration with 1000s of requests for information through the FOIA?
The goal was to paralyze the executive branch.

Probably. You can usually detect what liberals did, are doing, or would like to do by what they're complaining about.

Psychological projection describes pretty much ALL their gripes.
