Committee chairman Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich, blasted the White House response
Why don’t they subpoena him for his college records, who paid for his University tuition, his Masters Thesis. I bet the guy has something he is trying to cover up, otherwise he would cooperate.
Something to hide.
This is getting good.
arrogant POS
Well, now. We have us a little Constitution crisis, now don’t we?
US Title 28- Rule 45-e
(e) Contempt. The issuing court may hold in contempt a person who, having been served, fails without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena. A nonparty’s failure to obey must be excused if the subpoena purports to require the nonparty to attend or produce at a place outside the limits of Rule 45 (c)(3)(A)(ii).
Throw them in jail for contempt!
Can that arrogant *** be hauled outta 1600 in handcuffs NOW?!
Defying a subpoena is an arrestable offense to the rest of us!
” - - - a subpoena— is a significant intrusion on Executive Branch interests - - “
HEY! YEAH YOU, Kathryn Ruemmler, just what are those “interests” of Obama’s?
How much stock did Obama buy in Solyndra?
Was Obama promised a seat on the board when he was through shafting the American tax payer?
She can conclude whatever she wants to, if it is a legitimate subpoena and they refuse to comply, use the full authority of the congress to make them comply.
This is a direct challenge to the oversight authority of the congress and if they don't force compliance then they won't have any authority and might as well go home.
What are Republicans going to do about it? Nothing. Obama and the Dems know they can do whatever they want to do.
Well, la te da! Aren’t we just too high and mighty up there in the white hut. Rules are just for the little people.
Conclude whatever you want, sweetheart, but unless there is a case to be made (and there doesn't appear to be) for Executive Privilege, my understanding is that the President has no right to withhold the subpoenaed documents.
Congress has subpoena power, plain and simple, and the President can ultimately be compelled to produce the requested information.
Congress should immediately take President 0bama to the Supreme Court for a Constitutional bitch slap, if necessary.
As someone else noted, this is getting good.
I really don't know who this clown in the White House thinks he is, but he is about to find out that his powers are indeed still limited by the Constitution.
If he doesn't wake up, they should impeach his Tyrannical ass...
any way to throw some of these lesser folks in the WH in jail and let the first denier see his own people stewing while he is in contempt?
Very interesting. Thanks for the post/ping. Thanks to every poster.
