George W. Bush, it seems, is bound and determined to shred the Constitution before he leaves office. He has "ordered" his former White House Counsel Harriet Miers not to appear before a congressional committee, despite a subpeona requiring her to do so.
His justice department is ordering other administration officials to do the same.
According to Josh Marshall, these "orders" would constitute a felony under federal criminal law, punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
SPEAKER PELOSI: Articles of impeachment should be filed immediately. George W. Bush is both lawless and incompetent. That's quite a lethal combination. Please...save our nation.
