"Judge Orders Miers to Testify; Claim of Executive Privilege Rejected"

"Judge Orders Miers to Testify; Claim of Executive Privilege Rejected": Today's edition of The Washington Post contains an article that begins, "A federal judge yesterday ordered a former White House counsel to testify before a House committee, rejecting the Bush administration's broad claims of executive privilege in its fight with Congress over the role politics played in the firing of nine federal prosecutors." The newspaper also contains an editorial entitled "Defeated in Court -- Again: The Bush administration never seems to learn from its excessive assertions of presidential authority."

The New York Times reports today that "Judge Rules Bush Advisers Can't Ignore Subpoenas."

The Los Angeles Times reports that "Miers and Bolten ordered to answer congressional subpoenas; A federal judge makes the unusual move of siding with Congress in a lawsuit over the investigation of the Bush administration's U.S. attorney firings."

And The Washington Times reports that "Judge says Bush aides must answer subpoenas; Rejects claim of immunity in probe of U.S. attorney firings."

My earlier coverage of yesterday's ruling of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia appears at this link.
