Contempt Charges Against Miers and Bolton Go to Full House


It is the official view of the House Judiciary Committee that Harriet Miers and Josh Bolton should be charged with criminal contempt for thumbing their elite noses at the rule of law.

If the resolution should pass the full House, Miers and Bolton would face criminal proceedings, under normal circumstances.

But since Bush owns the Department of Justice, forget that.

"The Justice Department on Tuesday informed the committee that it would not pursue criminal contempt charges against White House officials when executive privilege is invoked."
