They have the Power to search the Offices of the Congressman because there was a Warrant signed by a Judge. Jefferson ignored the subpoena's for the Papers they were asking for, therefore they had no choice. The problem is that these Congress critters think that they are elite, and above the law, and this has never been done before. If this was a Businessman that had been stealing from his customers or committing fraud and taking bribes,then would not answer to the Subpoena, I am sure the elitists in Congress would have no problem with the Police, federal or local searching everything they have. They are just Beltway Kings and Queens that had to pass a law a few years back to make the Congress critters comply with all the Laws that the average American has to. Why did they need a separate law? That tells you that they were not abiding by the Rules/Laws that they wanted the Average American to abide by, like the Americans with Disabilities Law. They pass the Bills and it becomes law and they were totally ignoring them.

This is what upsets me about Hastert. The first tenent of the Contract With America was that congress should abide by the same laws the rest of us have to follow. I guess it's easy to forget that.....

That the thing being over looked here. Congress is basically claiming "We are the King" we can thumb our noise at the Executive and the Judiciary because we are so important and powerful. Hysterically absurd from the same people who claim the "power" to investigate everyone and everything else's every action. From Steroids to NSA they claim over-site. Very well then Congress. Who watches YOU for US, the People?

Ah that right, the Judiciary and the Executive do that for We, the People. Checks and Balances? Anyone?

Congress is the servant, not the Master, of the people.
