Paulson and friends seem to be folding so quietly and totally on the provision that stated the "decisions by the Secretary...are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency" that you almost wonder if it wasn't inserted simply to draw fire and then be traded away as a "concession." That line was so egregiously written that you have to assume they either really cared about it or really wanted people to attack it so they could elevate losing it into a major compromise. Since they don't seem wiling to fight for, or even defend, the clause, I'm betting on the latter. Which suggests that the Democratic negotiating strategy should be to assume the "economic czar" clause DOA and understand concessions to mean other things.
