Re: Please, More Subpoena Fights! [Andy McCarthy]
I'm with you, Rich, with this caveat: It can only work if the White House takes a consistent position.
If it is saying, as it should be, that these are political and not legal fights, that the public and congress already know everything they need to know to make a judgment about whether the NSA and US Attorneys policies were good ones, and that the advice the president gets from his advisers is no more Congress's business than the advice Senator Leahy gets from his, then that is the position they should stick to.
But if they are going to say no testimony but we'll keep voluntarily giving you some documents and making some officials available informally, they are just keeping these issues alive and slowly digging their own grave.
