It’s about time they stood up to Pelosi and walked out in a huff! It is a disgrace that Pelosi can’t be bothered with our national security. They would rather have a show trial than to protect this nation against terrorists. (via)BTW, the vote on contempt charges doesn’t even get them anything anyway because the Justice Department won’t act on it:

The motions passed Thursday authorize criminal and civil contempt proceedings against Bolten and Miers, although it is unlikely that a criminal case will actually be brought against either of them because the Justice Department, which would normally represent the House in such cases, has already stated that it will not prosecute an executive branch official for resisting a subpoena on executive privilege grounds.While Conyers can also use the House general counsel’s office to initiate a civil contempt case, that route is long and potentially risky as it could result in a ruling against the House, thereby creating a precedent that would effectively extend presidential power at Congress’ expense. Conyers said that he will not immediately seek to begin civil contempt proceedings but will instead make one final offer to Fielding next month. If that offer is rebuffed, Conyers said he would then initiate legal actions.

They’re playing political games at the expensive our safety and I resent it.
