Harriet Miers is going to blow off a congressional subpoena tomorrow and simply fail to appear before a House Judiciary subcommittee. Conyers and Chairwoman Sanchez are not amused:
“We are aware of absolutely no court decision that supports the notion that a former White House official has the option of refusing to even appear in response to a Congressional subpoena. To the contrary, the courts have made clear that no present or former government official – even the President – is above the law and may completely disregard a legal directive such as the Committee’s subpoena.”
It’s a long fall from Supreme Court nominee to cellmate #224357, or whatever number they wind up giving her. She better hope she gets a pardon.
Update [2007-7-11 16:59:49 by BooMan]: Marty Lederman presents the options and has some predictions.
