Democrats Call Bush's Bluff

Democrats in the House of Representatives called the President's Bluff, using their Constitutional Power to show the dictator-wannabe that they are in fact an EQUAL branch of government.

The Judiciary Subcommitte approved the issuing of subpoenas. Now it is up the full Judiciary Committee to issue the subpoenas that will force Karl Rove and Harriet Miers, among others, to appear before the committe and testify UNDER OATH.

Meanwhile, the Senate has repealed the subsection of the PATRIOT Act they seemed the have missed; the part that allowed the Executive Branch to circumvent them and replace US Attorneys without Senate confirmation. It is pretty clear that if that stipulation did not exist, this whole firing scandal never would've happened.

The vote was 94-2 with two Republican dissenting; Senator Kit Bond (R-Missouri) and Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska). I'd like to know what Hagel was thinking.
