Patrick O’Connor, The Politico
House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) criticized former White House counsel Harriet Miers’s decision not to appear before a subcommittee hearing Thursday to answer questions about her role in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys late last year.
A lawyer for Miers notified the committee on Wednesday that his client would not appear after initially telling aides she would appear but not answer questions in response to President Bush’s order to invoke executive privilege.
“I am extremely disappointed in the White House’s direction to Ms. Miers that she not even show up to assert the privilege before the Committee,” Conyers said. “We understand that the White House has asserted privilege over both her testimony and documents, and we are prepared to consider those claims at tomorrow’s hearing.”
Isn’t this contempt of congress? If I tried something like this, I’d be in jail so fast your head would spin. I guess if you’re a corporate c___ sucker working for George W. or the Pit-Cheney you can get away with anything !! (http://www.thisoldride.com/cheney/pitcheney1.jpg)

A Patriot’s Message
The hammer falls on the Constitution of the United States of America. Our freedom and Democracy, our sovereignty as a nation is coming to an end.
The politically appointed neoconservatives in Justice sneer at Habeas Corpus; Geneva Convention; worker, consumer and investor protection; education; affirmative action; individual rights and “entitlements†like Social Security and health care.
The corporate neo-con conspirators (Establishment) have their own agenda of a New World Order; W.T.O; N.A.F.T.A; immigration; globalization and “free tradeâ€; military seizure of foreign oil fields; employing a private army of mercenaries and propagandist; “dealing†with Afghanistan Opium drug lords harboring Osama Bin Laden and financing Al Qaeda.
The ideal corporate model is “Communism†where individual freedom and democracy are mute. The board of directors rule. The corporate neo-cons hate our regulatory government, Constitution and Individual Rights.
Our Federal Government is purposely bankrupt by war/trade debt and the ideal corporate nation, China, are carrying trillions of dollars of our debt. Communist China and their junior corporate American partner’s technically own theâ€U.S.A†resulting in “Globalization†and loss of sovereignty. Mission accomplished. The surge strategy is not to win the war but to pump oil and further indebt U.S.A to Communist China. Patriots, sign on! Impeach Bush, Cheney and nullify their Supreme Court appointments!
