If we did get to the situation you describe, you will prolly be shocked when the congressional majority that pledged to make all secrets public all of a sudden broke that promise. Probably without explaining why, too.

There are no secrets "above the law" but there are plenty that are "really really stupid to release no matter how many want it released" and even congressmen can occasionally tell the difference.
