The only reason not to testify would be if it would result in revelaing the identity of a CIA agent...oops, already done that...gee, I guess there is no rational reason not to testify.

The Clinton impeachment was a political show trial. The hearings this week are looking into questionable actions by the executive. The Bush claim of executive privilege does not excuse Miers and Taylor from appearing before the committee's under subpoena. If they wish they can claim executive privilege at the time questions are asked. Bush has spent all of his political capital. It is time to remind him of the limits of Presidential power. This, in the end, will be settled in courts. Given the current composition of the Supreme Court, what is Bush afraid of? Answer: the truth!

We have a criminal administration that has shown nothing but contempt for our democracy headed by Dick Cheney with a willing stooge placed in front of him for show called George Bush. They have packed the supreme court in their favor and does anyone think that wasn't to help them just in case some form of accountability for their crimes occured. They need to be removed and indicted to save our democracy.

This is all about keeping the lid on the real effort by this admin. ( Karl Rove ) to commit the biggest election fraud in our history..taht is why these attorneys were replaced, because they were the few appointed republicans who still believed in a non-partisan judiciary. These criminals in the white house will do anything to avoid that fact coming to lite because it is a federal crime, even when the emporer of the America commits it.

Bush has at least learned one lesson from the Libby case. If his aides don't testify under oath in a court of law, then they can't be charged with perjury. Of course, even if they do testify under oath, and lie, and are convicted of perjury, Bush can still decide to commute the sentence, or at his discretion, pardon the crime. So, if Harriet Miers and Sara Taylor are "aide"s and are exempt from testifying under oath, then couldn't Monica Lewinsky also be considered an "aide" and should not have been required to testify under oath? By those rules, then the whole Clinton "impeachment" was improper and should be struck from the history books. Or do we have different laws for Republican administrations than for Democratic administrations???

I think rather than this being settled in the courts (because we all know how much respect for courts that the Republicans have...) this will go to impeachment. The Senate won't have the votes for conviction but I think it's important to show people the price of voting Republican.

Frank "Grimey" Grimes, Springfield, USA — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 22:18:39 GMT

This all sounds so familiar. Once again, the hypocrisy of all politicians is on display. President Bush invokes "executive privilege"...Dems are up in arms over it and Reps think it's his right. Former President Clinton apparently invoked "executive privelege" 14 times during his Presidency. And surprisingly, Reps were up in arms over it and Dems thought it was his right. Saying that only one party is being hypocritical in this debate is plain wrong. Both parties will do and say whatever is to their advantage at the time. And politicians wonder why we hold them in such low regard!

J David Eisenberg, San Jose, CA — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 22:28:29 GMT

From the Washington Post, 26 Apr 07: "A Democratic committee aide rejected that assertion [that senior advisors to the President don't testify to Congress], providing a lengthy list of White House aides, including chiefs of staffs, senior advisers and counsels, who provided testimony to the GOP-run oversight committee during the Clinton administration."

If the law applied to Pres. Clinton, it must apply to Pres. Bush. We are, after all, a nation of laws, not of men.

Taylor and Miers should both show up for the hearings. When they are sworn in, and take the oath to tell the whole truth, they should say "Only if the committee members do, we have a few questions for them too". Would be a short hearing.

"I noticed the first 100 hours of the Pelosi administration is now into it's sixth month. Still planning on getting anything passed nancy?"

Ol'Nancy fell right in line like a good girl after she took the gavel. Oh, she mouthed off a little bit for show at the start there, but now she's gotten real quiet. She's knows whose boss, and it ain't her.

Seems like it's too quiet for her friend Cindy Sheehan. Out flanking Nancy to the left would be a tall order, but Cindy is just the one that could do it. It'd be pretty funny watching Cindy rant and rave on the House floor. Oh wait, how would we tell the difference from what's going on today?

Cite Miers and Taylor for contempt of Congress, and try to send them to jail. Bush will pardon them, of course, but the rule of law should have someone stand up for it anyway, even if this Administration is a government of men, and not laws. If I were subpoenaed, and I refused, you know MY non-connected, non-Republican butt would be in the slam! But as Ollie North once said of Congress "Those men want to get me, but they never will, because the Old Man loves my ass!"

Kanye West was wrong. George Bush doesn't hate black people, he hates all Americans. Ever so slowly he's tearing apart our democracy and turning his job into a dictatorship. Meanwhile, our politicians and media let it all float by and do nothing about it. The media are idiots and the Democrats are spineless. Common sense alone would have led to Bush and Cheney's impeachment years ago, yet there they still sit today. How ashamed I now feel to live in this country, run by a complete idiot, and how sad I am to see everything that this country's war veterans fought for, slowly dissolving away.

Anybody really want to hear anything Harriet Miers has to say? Sorry Congressional Democrats, but if you're hanging your hopes on finding anything out from her, you don't have much to go on. She seems like a ditz.

But I suppose we all sense they just want her to show and plead privilege, to visually perpetuate the sense (probably an accurate one) that the administration is hiding something.

Bush loves show trials.

First, there's Heckuva Job Brownie, who ran show trials before Bush appointed him head of FEMA. That didn't go so well because he had no experience in emergency mangement and the lives lost as a result were poor people stuck in the rising flood waters from breached levees the budget for which Bush cut by $200 million prior to Katrina.

Then there's Scooter Libby. What a tremendous waste of time and not because Libby was innocent but because Bush obstructed justice by commuting Libby's jail time. If there was one thing that would have pryed the truth from Libby's lips regarding Bush's and Cheney's involvement in the CIA leak case, it would be Libby's jailtime. Hell even Judy Miller sat in the hooscow for 85 days. Libby must have threatened to sing if he hadto spend one day in jail. What's a little obstruction of justice between a few senior White House officials?

Did anyone watch Sara Taylor not answer questions? I feel a contempt of Congress comming on.

Why do these loyal BushCo soldiers think their oath to serve the President is a higher order than their oath to uphold and protect the Constitution and our nation oflaws?
