Hell, Hast Thou Frozen Over?
Terri Whitehouse June 27th, 2007
Laurie Kellman of the AP reports:
The Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney’s office Wednesday for documents relating to President Bush’s warrant-free eavesdropping program.
Also named in subpoenas signed by committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were the Justice Department and the National Security Council.
The committee wants documents that might shed light on internal squabbles within the administration over the legality of the program, said a congressional official speaking on condition of anonymity because the subpoenas had not been made public.
Oy! Executive immunity, anyone?
Addendum: Nope, that didn’t take long at all!

I hammered away against the illegal warrantless wiretaps all last Congressional campaign season. At last, with a Democratic majority, we will see subpoenas issued, and the Republican leadership placed on the witness stand to explain why they have been doing illegal warrantless wiretaps.
