Elites think they have different rules of justice than us serfs. Maybe Aaron Hernandez would show up to his trial if we ask him nicely.
Meirs and Rove both did testify in 2009. Key parts of the transcript here. So there is not only legal precedent, there is a history of compliance.
Thanks for finding that info, it wasn’t coming up on my research requests.
The ruling was appealed, I cant find anything about it being upheld, but it appears that there was a deal hammered out that led to them agreeing to testify.
What’s interesting is this…”(U.S. District Judge John) Bates had suggested that the two sides settle to avoid a ruling that would be binding of future presidents and members of Congress.”
I think what you have found is a ‘smoking gun’ that should help force this Administration to toe the line on subpoenas, based on the Bush Administration experience and agreed testimony. Could that have been what caused Kerry to change his tone and agree to testify?
That’s too funny... Bush’s fault, again.
