Court Rules on Miers/Bolten Subpoenas
07.31.08 -- 10:59AM
By David Kurtz

Just in: A federal district court in DC has overruled the White House-backed motion to dismiss the House lawsuit to enforce contempt of court against former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten.

The court also granted the House's motion for partial summary judgment in part.

In doing so the court ruled:

Harriet Miers is not immune from compelled congressional process; she is legally required to testify pursuant to a duly issued congressional subpoena from plaintiff; and Ms. Miers may invoke executive privilege in response to specific questions as appropriate

and that:

Joshua Bolten and Ms. Miers shall produce all non-privileged documents requested by the applicable subpoenas and shall provide to plaintiff a specific description of any documents withheld from production on the basis of executive privilege consistent with the terms of the Memorandum Opinion issued on this date

More soon.

3. Even if nobody goes to prison, I want them looking over their shoulders

the rest of their lives.
