| 89. Congress Contempt Power: |
|
"ANY action that directly obstructs the effort of Congress to exercise its CONSTITUTIONAL powers may constitute a contempt..."
BTW- unless you have access to CSPAN 3, it's NOT televised. I agree with your claim re: "staged and scripted"... Rumsfeld and Meyers demonstrated that clearly when they testified.
