From today's New York Times:
"In a letter to the chairmen of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Mr. Bush’s counsel, Fred F. Fielding, declared that the legislative and executive branches of government were at an impasse. Mr. Fielding wrote that the president is directing the two aides — Sara M. Taylor, the former White House political director, and Harriet E. Miers, the former White House counsel — not to testify...
Mr. Fielding complained about the tone and language the Democrats used, telling them he wanted to convey 'a note of concern over your letter’s apparent direction in dealing with a situation of this gravity'.”
The gravity here, Fred is that our Democracy hangs in the balance. The gravity here is that you are telling the citizens of this Republic "to go fuck themselves", to quote Cheney, and with any luck, and if inertia is on our side, the gravity of this situation is that you are sliding down a very dark, very impeached, and very criminal hole.
