Former prosecutors challenge White House immunity claim

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/100/story/38916.html

Excerpt:

Twenty former U.S. attorneys, both Republicans and Democrats, urged a federal judge Thursday to intervene in a constitutional battle over whether two White House officials should be forced to testify before Congress about the firings of nine U.S. attorneys.

The former top prosecutors, including two who served under President Bush, argue in court papers that the judge should reject the Bush administration's assertion of blanket immunity for presidential chief of staff Joshua Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet Miers in the congressional investigation.

This is so sad. Because they had long careers as federal prosecutors, they still retain some forlorn faith in the system despite knowing first hand that it is totally corrupt.

Should they win at this level, the case would be appealed to the Supreme Court, the Court that installed the unelected "unitary President" (dictator), which would of course rule for the administration.

And Congress knew that when they confirmed Bush's appointees.

Just another useless and time-wasting gesture, imho.
