Quote of the Day

"The executive's current claim of absolute immunity from compelled Congressional process for senior presidential aides is without any support in the case law."Judge John D. Bates, who ruled in US District Court in DC today that, failing an overturn on appeal, "former White House counsel, Harriet E. Miers, and the current White House chief of staff, Joshua B. Bolten, would be required to cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee, which has been investigating the controversial dismissal of the federal prosecutors in 2006."
