One more... (I can't help myself...!)

booman...

Pelosi? Conyers? You listening?
"In circumstances like this, the constitutional prerogatives of the president make it futile and purely political for Congress to refer to a U.S. attorney a contempt citation," White House spokesman Tony Snow said yesterday. "The legislative branch is not in a position to compel action on the part of the executive branch, other than in areas related to its legitimate oversight role."

It's Inherent Contempt or it's the end of the Republic.

i don't think he's exaggerating one tiny bit...
