White House contempt

House Judiciary Committee Democrats warned yesterday they would pursue a contempt of Congress motion if the White House fails respond to subpoenas for testimony and documents related to the firings of U.S. attorneys last year.

The deadline for a response is Thursday, June 28. If the White House does not comply, it opens the possibility of a constitutional showdown between the two branches. In an ironic twist, the Department of Justice (DoJ) would be called on to enforce the contempt motion.

During yesterday's testimony by Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, panel Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) asked McNulty whether he would enforce such a motion. McNulty responded that he would recuse himself from handling such matters because of an internal DoJ investigation into the U.S. attorneys matter.

.....

Others who could face contempt motions include ex-White House Counsel Harriet Miers and former White House political director Sara Taylor. Last week, the House Judiciary Committee voted to subpoena testimony from Miers, while the Senate Judiciary panel voted to subpoena testimony from Taylor.

As usual, they got the talkin part done, but it'll never happen. It'll be 'off the table' before anybody even remembers the threat. The Democrats don't even have any balls, so quit dreaming.

What a fucking joke! There isn't a testicle in the entire Democratic party, and now after 6 years of bending over whenever their told they're growing balls? Hah! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Guaranteed.

As much as I hate to say it, I have to agree with the other two comments. Until I see them act on the threats, I won't believe in the existence of any "baggage" in the party, with the exception of a few lonely souls who keep trying, but get left out in the cold with no support from the rest of the party.

I'm holding out (a little) hope, but until I see action, it's all talk. And talk is cheaper than ever nowadays.
