I've heard on the tube that the US Attorney for the district in question has the prerogative, and that he declined to take action......
Federal crime.
Federal Marshalls.
Every US Attorney is an employee of the Department of Justice. That means his boss is Attorney Gen. Alberto Gonzales -- and President George Bush. If there is a US attorney who is failing to enforce these subpoenas, then Gonazels and/or Bush could easily get that obstruction by their employee stopped.
The President of the Senate or Speaker of the House have to offer a resolution authorizing prosecution. Once the resolution passes, then the US Attorney for the MD of Fla can prosecute.
These subpoenas should not have been issued in the first place. That being said, once issued, Congress now has little choice but to enforce them.
I wonder who appointed this US Attorney?
Doesn't President Bush have anything to say about the attitude of the US Attorney?
Felos, Greer, etc. are using this case for their own political agendas....someone like Frist and Co. need to get this judge for contempt of Congress...and not just talk about it. Terri's welfare is the least of the concerns of those Fla. jerks!!
