Let's Play Some More Hardball

Harriet Miers didn't show up to her scheduled hearing today, the House Judiciary Committee ruled the move out of order, and now contempt proceedings can proceed. The House apparently can call for their own counsel to initiate contempt charges and not just wait for the US Attorney.

I hope they're prepared to go all the way. The right certainly is. (I'm not going to excerpt any of Digby's work, just go over there and rad it because it's a great summation of what I was getting at yesterday when asking if Bush was trying to initiate impeachment proceedings against himself. The Republicans are playing an entirely different game, and the Democrats have to be prepared to do it as well.)
