Well... how does anyone expect an impeachment proceeding to happen? I know that Clinton showed up and infamously answered some questions BUT.... since then, there is a new precedent that was set. The Bush / Cheney White House introduced the new law of the land that the executive branch DOES NOT HAVE TO SHOW FOR CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENAS. Dick Cheney along with 5 or 6 others in the Bush White House were in contempt of congress for quite a while and the DOJ elected not to prosecute them for not answering subpoenas. So.... as long as the executive branch controls the DOJ, if we ever do have another impeachment situation, how do you guys expect to compel anyone to show? We have precedent. The executive branch no longer answers to congress.... even when they DEMAND AN ANSWER.... if the President says "no, no one from here is showing up", he then simply instructs the DOJ not to prosecute anyone and congress can kindly shove their worthless subpoena up their rectum.
Thanks President Bush!
(Yes, IT IS Bush's fault)
Really I guess you will site your source after making that claim.
