In response to Harriet Miers not showing up at all for her hearing, the Dems wrote:

We are aware of absolutely no court decision that supports the notion that a former White House official has the option of refusing to even appear in response to a Congressional subpoena. To the contrary, the courts have made clear that no present or former government official – even the President – is above the law and may completely disregard a legal directive such as the Committee’s subpoena.

Government official? Isn't it obvious by now that Miers and others are at the behest of a king, a ruling emperor? This is unprecedented because we as a country have never before been ruled over by a king -- until now.
