The motion passed, with only two against. Is the stage now set for a nice little Constitutional crisis? It doesn't look like either Conyers or Little Boots are in a compromising mood. Subpoenas to be issued today or tomorrow.Actually, from what I can tell, the Bushistas' main objection is to the existence of a transcript. It's illegal to lie to Congress even when you're not under oath, so the only way to guard against perjury charges in that case is for all conversations to be behind closed doors and off the record.
