Pelosi promises congressional contempt charge for Harriet Miers

Speaker reiterates impeachment is not on her agenda

Congress this week will take the next step to force the Bush administration to hand over information about the dismissal of U.S. attorneys and the politicization of the Justice Department, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Saturday.

The House Judiciary Committee will bring contempt of Congress charges against the administration this week, said the San Francisco Democrat. She did not specify who the subject of the action would be, but Pelosi spokesman, Brendan Daly, said later it would be former White House counsel Harriet Miers, who defied a House Judiciary Committee subpoena to appear.

"They have disregarded the call of Congress for information about their politicizing the Department of Justice. We can document that. Those are actual facts and we will bring the contempt of Congress forth," said Pelosi, who spoke with reporters at a San Francisco workshop for people who want to become U.S. citizens.

She also addressed criticism of the farm bill and reiterated her opposition to impeaching President Bush.

Have you noticed how they don’t have the strength of their convictions but keep trying to blame their own initiatives on Republicans? As in , “It’s not just the left,” Pelosi said”

I always thought that if a group of people acted in a contemptuous manner that you had every right to have contempt for them.

Pelosi will likely use the inherent contempt process with Miers as opposed to statutory proceedings which by law requires the US Attorney to present the case to a grand jury. Bush has already said the US Attorney will not be allowed to present the case to a grand jury.

Has this witch ever heard of executive privilege or the Fifth Amendment?

Those things only apply to White House administration's when Democrats are sitting in the WH

Good gracious! These people are about as immature as can be!

Can’t we get some grownups to run the country for a change?

Nancy (100 days) Eyesocket-Pelosi is beyond tiresome. After her loud start showed no results; nothing she says or does matters much.

That is what is important for this speaker. Terrorists, borders, war, business, and the rest will always be there, but chances like this only come once. Go for it Nancy! Take care of the issues that are of no importance and no one with a brain cares about.

I agree, and I also hold them in very low esteem! In fact, most dimocraps in Congress are lower than whale manure in my book.

I wonder how Nancy would feel if she was told that she had to disclose all written notes and conversations with her lawyer? Thats right.......there is a law against that.

Following the instructions of the President of the United States, as Myers is doing, takes precedence over bowing to the wishes of the House Majority Leader imo.
