Just saw this on BBC, and came to Dkos to see if it where being discussed. Surprisingly I didn't see it anywhere, but I guess it has been a big news day. Nonetheless, enjoy.
Apparently congress filed suit against Harriet Miers and Joshua Bolton claiming that they must testify to congress. As BBC states:
The lawsuit filed by the House Judiciary Committee contests the White House's view that Ms Miers is immune from being held to testify by Congress.
It also calls on Ms Miers and Mr Bolten to identify all the documents being withheld from Congress despite the subpoena issued by it early last year.
And to no ones surprise:
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino responded: "The confidentiality that the president receives from his senior advisers and the constitutional principle of separation of powers must be protected from overreaching and we are confident that the courts will agree with us."
It will be interesting to see how this plays out; hopefully this will inspire some more action in congress because the courts are likely to take their sweet time in deciding this.
