White House, Cheney's office, subpoenaed
WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney's office Wednesday for documents relating to President Bush's warrant-free eavesdropping program.
Also named in subpoenas signed by committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were the Justice Department and the National Security Council.
The committee wants documents that might shed light on internal squabbles within the administration over the legality of the program, said a congressional official speaking on condition of anonymity because the subpoenas had not been made public.
Leahy's committee authorized the subpoenas previously as part of its sweeping investigation into how much influence the White House exerts over the Justice Department and its chief, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Are they looking at a stretch? I hope so, I hope Cheney has to share a cell with a transvestite body builder.

Good, then he'll be in contempt of court. The only thing that worries me is I doubt the Supreme court would go against him. I'd sure like to see him dragged off in handcuffs and stuffed into the DC jail. I doubt he'd get out alive.

Can't have it both ways. He's declared himself not part of the "Executive Branch" and therefore shouldn't have "Executive Privilage".
OMG.......I can feel my rep level building as I type! LOL
