41. true, but aren't most of these situations negotiated after Congress gets tough?
Threatening to hold Myers in Contempt of Congress is the only card Congress can play at this time, right? It's a pretty powerful card too if the courts refuse to get involved so I hope Myers and/or the WH are smart enough to comply. I would expect the WH to try to negotiate a compromise though right before the handcuffs are slapped on her.

Whatever they're holding back on must be pretty bad for Bush to force his good friend into this situation. It's not like him to throw people from the inner circle to the wolves so I'm very interested in seeing how this plays out.
