UPDATE: Seeing as how it appears to be over, this is the official wrap-up diary. Probably still shouldn't be recommended.
Here's some choice links to news media and some interesting quotes I found:
CNN:
"It is apparent that this White House is contemptuous of the Congress and feels that it does not have to explain itself to anybody," Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, said as he opened the hearing. "I urge Ms. Taylor not to follow that contemptuous position and not to follow the White House down this path."
We all know how well THAT turned out.
Yahoo! News:
With that, Democrats and ranking Republican Arlen Specter began to try to unravel Taylor's adherence to Bush's directions.
Democrats noted that Taylor, 32, she is a private citizen compelled by subpoena to testify, under threat of being held in contempt of Congress. During a first round of questioning, Leahy asked Taylor repeatedly whether she had met with or talked to Bush about the replacement of U.S. attorneys. Taylor repeatedly refused to answer, citing Bush's instructions.
And she had an assist from Specter on that one.
Again, thanks for everyone who contributed, and a special thanks to fabooj who once again had the live blogging end before her turn. She's always ready to volunteer, so make sure she gets some warm thanks.
