Can we just disband Congress? Just send them on sabbatical for a while? Between the Clemens/steroid “scandal” and this, there’s ample proof that they’re just looking for busywork. On the other hand, since we really can’t send them home, at least while they’re occupying themselves with this nonsense, they’re not raising taxes or enforcing some ridiculous global warming Gore-enrichment scheme.
If Congress had evidence of lawbreaking, they could forward that to the Department of Justice for investigation. In this case, they have nothing; they just want to see if they can set some perjury traps for Bolten and Miers in their ongoing war against the Bush administration. They claim they have oversight over the executive branch, but just as the government doesn’t have the right to subpoena people without the existence of a crime, neither does Congress regarding White House advisers.
