Conyers seeks Contempt of Congress against White House

Fat chance that the Bushites will give in on this one.

Be prepared to go all the way to the Supremes.


Conyers seeks Contempt of Congress against White House:

Showdown at the DC Corral via The Hill

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.
