Congress, be congressional!

by: Jay Stevens

Fri Nov 16, 2007 at 07:48:56 AM MST


Nice editorial today in the New York Times over the Congressional subpoenas ignored by  White House staffers, Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers.

Here's the money quote:

The Bush administration's days are numbered. But the damage it has done to the balance of powers could be long-lasting. If Congress wants to maintain its Constitutional role, it needs to stand up for itself. A good place to start is by making clear that its legitimate investigative authority cannot be defied, and any who choose to do so will pay a heavy price.

Amen.

Sorry - not going to hold my breath... (0.00 / 0)
Anymore than I will about the Democrats actually pushing Bush on the War Spending bill. I have seen very little backbone out of the party that got elected by promising to "stand up to Bush and his illegal War".
