Rep. Slaughter - Contempt for Miers and Bolten

The House debates H.Res. 982, which provides for the adoption of H.Res. 979, recommending that the House of Representatives find Harriet Miers, former White House Counsel, and Joshua Bolten, the White House Chief of Staff, in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with subpoenas issued by the Judiciary Committee. These subpoenas were issued as part of the Committee's investigation into the firings of a number of United States Attorneys and matters concerning the politicization of the Justice Department. This resolution also provides for adoption of H.Res. 980 - Authorizing the Committee on the Judiciary to initiate or intervene in judicial proceedings to enforce certain subpoenas. Rep. Louise Slaughter speaks in favor.

It's about time!! Why did they wait so long? But if the precarious safety of our Constitution is in such serious danger, better late than never. (A Vietnam vet)

FUCK the safe square! This is politics not a pizzaria. If you want to be safe, open a damn resaraunt; this body is for people who want to enforce the will of their constituants, and forge that will in to law.

It is DREADFUL to have incompetent people leading the country.
