Senate Judiciary Committee will subpoena Bushies
The Senate Judiciary Committee today authorized issuing subpoenas for senior Bush administration officials, compelling them to testify under oath about the purging of eight U.S. attorneys.
Subpoenas will be issued to Karl Rove; Kyle Sampson, Alberto Gonzales former chief of staff; Harriet Miers, former White House counsel; William Kelly, deputy counsel; and J. Scott Jennings, special assistant to the president in the Office of Public Affairs.

From what I’ve heard via TV pundits, Kyle Sampson is itching to testify and his testimony will supposedly not be favorable to the administration.
Tuesday, George Bush became indignant and recalcitrant at the notion of Congress challenging his executive authority and refused to allow his staff to testify under oath or in public.
So, now the question is, does W. have the same political capital with the Supremes as he (or his father) did in 2000?
