“no one is immune from accountability and the rule of law, not Harriet Miers or Josh Bolten, and especially not President Bush or Vice President Cheney. It is high time to defend the Constitution and Congress as a coequal branch of government. Our liberty and freedoms as Americans are dependent upon the checks and balances that protect our Nation. Not since Watergate, not since Watergate has a President so openly disregarded the will of Congress. Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers have blatantly ignored congressional subpoenas, thumbing their nose at Congress and our obligation of legitimate oversight. The power of the congressional subpoena safeguards our liberty. It protects against an all-powerful President. The Constitution demands that we hold these renegade officials in contempt of Congress.”
