Contempt Of Congress

I'm skeptical, but hopeful:

If Congress passes a contempt-of-Congress measure, lawmakers would effectively be formally accusing the White House of a crime, which would then be referred to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia for consideration. Russert asked Leahy this morning, "Are you sure the U.S. Attorney would prosecute?" The chairman responded, "Well, I think it'd be very difficult for him not to."
Because Leahy is threatening doesn't mean he'll do it. We'll see if a "compromise" isn't agreed to (in others words, Congress bends over). And if Congress does hold Bush in contempt .... ah ... I mean officially ... be prepared for all the pundits to scream about CRISIS!, they're be official CNN logos and Wolf will have to furrow his brow more.
