Full disclosure and the Kavanough hearings

As a realtor it is my obligation to disclose everything I know about a listing I  represent to potential buyers. If I do not know something, I am obligated to direct my buyers to the appropriate resources to do their own due diligence.  Under Massachusetts law this means that a Realtor is required to disclose any information they are aware of that may influence the sale of a home.  Under certain circumstances the buyer may have the right to recourse or legal action if something that should have been disclosed is withheld that could have hurt their interest in the purchase decision.

I bring this up as I do find it rather troubling that this country is in the process of appointing a new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanough to represent the legal interests of all Americans without the same due diligence.  The hearings begin today.  Documents that may be critical to making an informed decision by the committee are being withheld under this adminstrations assertion of Executive Privilege.

Shouldn't all major decisions that represent American rights be transparent.  Since when can a White House invoke executive privilege on voting on a legal body that is supposed to be a check and balance of our government to protect the rights of all it serves.  Something does not seem right here.

Comments are welcome.
