liquidiridium discovered 4 months ago- From the page: "The House on Monday launched what could be a landmark attack against the Bush administration, claiming in a federal lawsuit that the White House abused the protections of executive privilege to shield itself from legitimate oversight. The suit, filed in federal court in Washington, seeks to force the White House to turn over documents and provide testimony shedding light on the role of executive-branch officials in the controversial dismissals of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006. The novel action -- believed to be the first time the House has launched its own lawsuit to enforce subpoenas -- follows the refusal of the Justice Department to pursue criminal contempt charges against White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten and former White House Counsel Harriet E. Miers. "The House is taking action today to uphold the rule of law and to protect our constitutional system of checks and balances," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco). Last year, during its investigation of the firings, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Bolten and Miers. When neither cooperated, the full House voted, along party lines, to hold them in contempt and referred the case to the Justice Department last month. But Atty. Gen. Michael B. Mukasey declined to prosecute, upholding the administration view that the two confidants of President Bush were protected by executive privilege. The politically charged lawsuit faces uncertain prospects. There is no federal statute that authorizes the House to directly enforce its subpoenas through the courts. Proponents of the suit argue that Congress is left with no recourse when the Justice Department declines to pursue criminal charges, and that the court should step in for reasons of fairness." Good luck w/the lawsuit guys. :p
