Contempt of Congress - A Dispassionate View of a Hot Topic

At Balkinization yesterday Marty Lederman alerted us to a newly-released Congressional Research Service report on contempt of Congress.

Prof. Lederman describes the report (Congress's Contempt Power: Law, History, Practice, and Procedure [PDF; 68 pages]) as "characteristically comprehensive, careful, balanced and informative."

Today, Prof. Lederman follows up with a link to the House Judiciary Committee draft report on the refusal of Harriet Miers and Joshua Bolten to comply with the committee's subpoenas [PDF; 70 pages].
