More problems for the new AG..
TPM:
House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers (D-MI) introduced two resolutions this afternoon related to the subpoenas. The first is a criminal contempt resolution against White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet Miers -- both were subpoenaed and did not respond, citing the White House's invocation of executive privilege. But Conyers also filed a resolution that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) file a civil suit against the White House.
Update: You can read both of those resolutions as prepared here. The second resolution would authorize the House Judiciary Committee to go to court, where it would be represented by the House general counsel
That second resolution would serve as an available alternative should Attorney General Michael Mukasey follow through on his threat not to enforce the criminal citation. The battle would then head into court, where a judge would have a shot at sorting out the White House's far-reaching assertion of privilege.
The House rules committee is expected to meet and begin work on both of these resolutions in the next hour.

Conyers is blocking Musk Rat in a corner. It's time for the Gerbil and his two friends Mr. Jack Daniels and Mr. Weed to step in. It is more important to save the criminals then to bring back the Justice System. As our Supreme Court Justices believe that crimes by the White House and their followers are crimes under the Dictators Law. Innocent people can go to jail based on lies and fake charges as long as their Democrats. Appointed Judges are under strict orders to do as their told and they will get millions in kick backs. Conyers and Waxman are out numbered by the corruption as it's been going on for 7 years. Americans are waiting for their rebate checks and will get a surprise as it wont be what they were told.
Don't even get me started. Bushdick is so corrupt and his cronies, that teapot looks like a walk in the park.
