Congress is revisiting the DOJ firings and attempting to subpoena two former White House aides, which the White House has rebuffed by claiming executive privilege. This is from a recent AP article:
"In a letter to the heads of the House and Senate Judiciary panels, White House counsel Fred Fielding insisted that Bush was acting in good faith and refused lawmakers’ demand that the president explain the basis for invoking the privilege. “You may be assured that the president’s assertion here comports with prior practices in similar contexts, and that it has been appropriately documented,” the letter said."
Oh good. The White House says nothing improper happened so we shouldn't trouble ourselves. Wait. Isn't this the same administration that has told us for four years that we're making progress in Iraq? Isn't this the same administration that promised to get tough on crime, appointed tough judges, and then overturned a judge's sentence on Libby, a man who committed treason and spent less time in jail than Paris Hilton? Bullshit. This administration loves to claim that Congress is wasting the nation's time and money, but this administration has done just that for over six years. I hope they keep digging. These bastards need to be brought to justice for the way they've damaged this country.
