If this Congress hadn’t been so patient with them, they could have stopped a lot of the abuses:
The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit yesterday to enforce subpoenas against President Bush’s chief of staff and his former counsel in a probe of suspected White House involvement in the 2006 firings of nine federal prosecutors.
The panel filed the federal court suit against Joshua B. Bolten, White House chief of staff since April 2006, and Harriet E. Miers, a close associate of Bush’s from Texas who resigned as White House counsel in January 2007 after a little more than two years on the job.
The committee’s action marked the first time in U.S. history that either chamber of Congress has sued the Executive Branch to enforce a subpoena, according to a spokesman for the House Judiciary Committee.
