Meanwhile, in Washington, D. C., Congress and Bush spar.

Kentucky is not the only place where the Executive is feuding with the Legislature. Today, President Bush directed his aides to disregard Congress' subpoenas issued to them in the wake of "Prosecutorgate" (search for the term here on this blog) claiming the existence of an executive privilege. Congress, in turn, has threatened to find all opposed to its move in contempt, thereby setting up what may become a federal constitutional crisis of sorts -- to be resolved by the courts, unless "political questions" are presented, in which case the courts will "punt" the issue and a political "shootout at the OK corral" will commence.

It MUST be something about the summer heat that is currently stifling our nation's capital!
