The Appeals Court Gives Obama His Week
Just a quick follow-up on this post, which noted that the Appeals Court had only given Obama one week of the two week extension he had asked for to broker a deal between the House Judiciary Committee and Harriet Miers and John Bolten regarding testimony.
DOJ asked again for their additional week on February 19. And today, the Appeals Court gave DOJ that second week. The Obama DOJ brief is now due on March 4.
Possible paperwork error to start with? It never made much sense that the court did that.
Boxturtle (Obama doesn’t strike me as stalling, just trying to get up to speed everywhere at once)
Thanks always for your great work, EW. Any news on when Rove might testify, and if so, whether it will be televised?
TP reports that Rove has blown off the subpoena, citing instructions from Fielding.
Nice of this to wait until you came back, Marcy.
Any word of Conyers’ next plan of action ?
I sort of suspect that the deadline was moved back–among other reasons–because of this pending deposition date.
But I don’t yet have an answer to the request I made this morning on this front.
They sure keep moving the line in the sand
