[The White House has] stalled or ignored Leahy's requests as his committee looks into the wiretapping program and the travails of Gonzales. They have calculated -- accurately so far -- that the Dynamic Duo of Leahy and Schumer would deliver harsh words but no punishment of consequence.
"The time is up. The time is up," Leahy announced yesterday. "We've waited long enough."
But what would Leahy do about it? The first questioner riddled Batman with this.
"The full Judiciary Committee will have to sit down and determine whether to seek contempt from the full Senate," said the noncommittal action hero.
Does that mean he would seek a contempt-of-Congress citation? "What I want to do is get the response to these things," Leahy demurred.

The best spin that can be put on this -- and the spin Leahy would no doubt put on it -- is that the Senator was careful, even cagey, and displayed a statesmanlike refusal to tip his hand.
The rest of the world saw this: He's got nothin'.
our two-party system...? balance of powers...? the united states constitution...? what a joke...
