US Lawmaker Threatens to Hold White House Officials in Contempt

The Democratic chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, has threatened to hold members of the Bush administration in contempt for withholding documents subpoenaed by his panel. The administration did not meet a Monday deadline for handing over information about the legal justification for its wiretapping program, as VOA‘s Deborah Tate reports from Capitol Hill.

Leahy: ‘Time is up’ for White House to produce surveillance opinions (CNN) — The White House asked for more time to produce documents regarding the legality of the Bush administration’s no-warrant surveillance program Monday, but the chairman of the Senate committee that demanded them said “time is up.”

Senator Upset With the Response to Subpoena     The White House did not fully comply today with a subpoena seeking material on the Bush administration’s eavesdropping program, and a leading Democratic senator reacted with anger, if not surprise. “The time is up,” Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said after the 2:30 p.m. deadline passed. “The time is up. We’ve waited long enough.”

Ignorantia juris non excusat or Ignorantia legis neminem excusat
(Latin for “ignorance of the law does not excuse” or “ignorance of the law excuses no one”) is a public policy holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because he or she was unaware of its content; that is, persons have presumed knowledge of the law.
The higher above the law you think you are, the harder you’re going to fall. Bush’s ‘hot air balloon’ is growing cold and consequences should follow. Dear Patrick Leahy is finally calling this A-Bomb-A-Nation to task for it’s arrogance. Please, please follow through make these guy accountable for a change. Give this country a little satisfaction. Lawless leaders make for a lawless country. This American Dick-Tater-Chip need to sink! I’m tired of just hearing “Lock and Load” let’s FIRE ONE! Bring ’em down!
