If Bush refuses, then he will appear guilty, and that will be reason enough for the Democrats to launch an investigation with a special prosecutor.

There is no "special prosecutor" law, nor any provision for one unless Bush appoints one. He would never do that.

You continue to concoct these fantasies that are not based in reality. Documents that have to do with conversations between Bush and Miers are privileged. The Democrats know that, and they know they are not going to get these documents and that they have no right to even ask for them.

Miers is not going to break privilege, and the Democrats will look stupid for insisting on documents to which they have no right.

You may as well face it: Miers is going to get her hearings. If she falls on her face, she will have to withdraw (anybody who falls on their face would have to withdraw).

But nobody has "fallen on their face" lately in any hearings, so don't look for Miers to, either.

It doesn't matter what is "privileged" or isn't.
In politics, perception is everything.

I'm constantly shocked and saddened by people here who have learned nothing over the past 5 years.
