Top White House political adviser David Simas refused again Friday to honor a congressional subpoena, prompting Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to vote to rebuke the administration.

* I'M PRETTY SURE BOEHNER CAN ORDER SIMAS' ARREST.

The Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted 19-14 to reject the White House’s claim that Simas has absolute immunity from a subpoena from Congress.

* PARTY LINES (OR NEAR ENOUGH) I'M ASSUMING.

Republicans said they were standing up for the principle that no one is above the law, and Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa quoted a long list of Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, who have backed Congress’ right to subpoena top administration officials.

* AGAIN... PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT DEMOCRATS DO... NOT WHAT THEY SAY. (AND FOR THAT MATTER... REPUBLICANS AS WELL.)

Democrats, led by ranking member Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, said they strongly disagree with the White House’s claim of absolute immunity but also strongly disagree with Issa’s push to press the issue...

* WHICH AMOUNTS TO "FUCK THE LAW, FUCK THE CONSTITUTION," WE'RE DEMOCRATS FIRST!

The White House informed Issa at 7:30 a.m. Friday that Simas would not appear, Issa said. The absence was “not excused,” the California Republican added.

* AGAIN... BOEHNER SHOULD ORDER SIMAS' ARREST - THE CHARGE, "CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS." HE WON'T. HE TO SPITS UPON THE RULE OF LAW... UPON OUR CONSTITUTION.
