Go To Bed Without Dinner

Apparently Abu ignored a Senatorial subpoena to provide documents. Well, this has made Senators really really mad:

“You ignored the subpoena, did not come forward today, did not produce the documents and did not even offer an explanation for your noncompliance,” the senators wrote in a lettter to Alberto Gonzales today. “Your action today is in defiance of the Committee’s subpoena without explanation of any legal basis for doing so.”
So what did they do in response to the fickle finger of fate?
The senators set a new deadline, this Friday at May 18, 10 AM. If the Justice Department does not respond to the subpoena, the senators ask that they at least explain why they're not responding "so that the Chairman and the Committee can assess any objections to the subpoena or privileges claimed by the Department."
They also withdrew his dinner and sent him to bed early.

Seriously, when is the Senate going to get serious about holding someone, anyone, accountable for ignoring the rule of law?

Seriously? The Democrats? They might upset their corporate masters. I'm disgusted with all of them.
