John Conyers Stands Tall

Last fall, Rep. John Conyers spoke at the Kent County Democratic Party annual dinner. He gave one of the most elegant, uplifting presentations I have ever heard from a politician - and demonstrated why he has earned so much respect in the House.

Today Rep. Conyers filed suit against Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten for Contempt of Congress based on their refusal to testify about the firing of the federal prosecutors:

"It is extremely rare that Congress must litigate in order to enforce subpoenas and no compromise can be reached. Unfortunately, this Administration simply will not negotiate towards a compromise resolution so we must proceed."
