HOUSE CENSORS TWO TOP BUSH AIDES; JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO IGNORE LAW

CNN - The House voted to hold White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former White House lawyer Harriet Miers in contempt in its probe of the 2006 firings of U.S. attorneys. Former White House counsel Harriet Miers refused to appear at a hearing into the firings of U.S. attorneys. The House voted 223-23 to hold the two Bush aides in contempt of Congress. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino called the move "a partisan, futile act" that would not be enforced by the Justice Department.
