OH, NO, THEY HAVE TO TO CONGRESSIONAL GITMO?:
House panel votes for contempt of Congress citations for 2 Bush aides (The Associated Press, July 25, 2007)
The Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives voted for contempt of Congress citations Wednesday against the White House chief of staff, Joshua Bolten, and President George W. Bush's former legal counselor, Harriet Miers.The 22-to-17 vote, which would sanction the pair for failure to comply with subpoenas on the firings of several federal prosecutors, advanced the citation to the full House and opened up the possibility of a fine and prison sentence for the two.
Given the inability to do anything about the citations, Congress merely makes itself look trivial. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 25, 2007 3:23 PM
No kidding. What're they going to do? Send the Sergeant-At-Arms over with a tipstaff & collar them?
