Breaking: The Bag Lady's empty seat.


From Thinkprogress:

Former White House counsel Harriet Miers’s chair sits empty today on Capitol Hill during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the U.S. attorney purge. As the AP notes, Miers “obeyed President Bush” and skipped the hearing.

Today, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) “ruled out of order Bush’s executive privilege claim that his former advisers are immune from being summoned before Congress,” clearing the way for contempt proceedings. The charge was upheld by the panel 7-5 vote.

Jackie and to all JL newsjunkies: You can now write, call, or email the Texas Bar Association on the inappropriate conduct of Harriet Miers. You can now turn in the bag lady.

Hey...why doesn't that same rule apply to Gonzo? The Bar doesn't care what he does? Surely someone has reported his assault on the Constitution.

Well, notice that the Gerbil never gave executive privilege to Gonzo but for the bag lady. Gonzo did appear at the hearings despite he lied. Miers, on the other hand, was subpoenaed. And now she didn't not to attend. I agree that Gonzo should be looked at from the Texas Bar Association for his conduct. With this latest on Gonzo, the pblic shold write, email, and phone the Texas Bar Association. As long as Gonzo has his law license, his conduct as a AG and attorney be questioned. As I am sure that Jackie will contact the Texas Bar Association about Miers as she said on the blog yesterday.
