WH Gives NO INDICATION That It Will Comply With Subpoenas

The White House contends that its search for would-be terrorists is legal, necessary and effective _ pointing out frequently that there have been no further attacks on American soil. Administration officials say they have given classified information _ such as details about the eavesdropping program, which is now under court supervision _ to the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress.

Echoing its response to previous congressional subpoenas to former administration officials Harriet Miers and Sara Taylor, the White House gave no indication that it would comply with the new ones.

"We're aware of the committee's action and will respond appropriately," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. "It's unfortunate that congressional Democrats continue to choose the route of confrontation."

In fact, the Judiciary Committee's three most senior Republicans _ Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, former chairman Orrin Hatch of Utah and Chuck Grassley of Iowa _ sided with Democrats on the 13-3 vote last week to give Leahy the power to issue the subpoenas.

The showdown between the White House and Congress could land in federal court.

until they're dragged kicking and screaming and in irons out the door of the WH.

They always have and this is no exception.
I reckon they will have to be carried from the West Wing kicking and screaming

Freakin' criminals.

They always have to invoke the 'terrorist' crap on everything......it is getting old :mad: :mad: :mad:

The only question is what will be done about their ignoring subpoenas. IMO - nothing.

Cause I'd bet good money on that happening, should this end up in court.

I swear to God it's gonna take an armed insurrection to oust these motherfreepers from office.

Too bad he was just a fictional character in a movie.

And then they have to train people to pronounce the word... what a nightmare for the WH.

If they don't, Congress has to hold them in contempt. If they don't, they aren't doing their job.

You mean the one they packed with loyalists?

*sigh*

comply or go to jail!

We'll all be dead before we see any results, I'm guessing.

investigations, 200+ hearings ....... Who can even keep up with these Dems?

Tom Daschle, a number of current senators, and several media offices would beg to differ.

Well, OK, maybe not the media... but you get my point.

and know that a dictator is in charge
