King George orders Miers to commit contempt
‘Cause, ya know, he’s like the king of f’n world and everything, and if he rules that private citizens can’t talk to Congress, then that’s that.
Bush Orders Miers Not to Testify
WASHINGTON – President Bush ordered former counsel Harriet Miers to defy a congressional summons, even as a second former aide told a Senate panel Wednesday she knew of no involvement by Bush in the dismissals of eight federal prosecutors. Contempt citations against both women were a possibility.
House Democrats threatened to cite Miers if she refused to appear as subpoenaed for a Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday. The White House said she was immune from the subpoena and Bush had directed her not to appear, according to Miers’ lawyer. Democrats said her immunity ended when she left her White House job.</em>
