We Won’t Get Anywhere Trying to Enforce White House Subpoenas (Sen. Arlen Specter)

I’m still hopeful that we can work something out. We’re not going to find out anything by seeking to enforce these subpoenas. The last time it was litigated, in the In Re: Sealed Case, it took more than two years. Not going to happen.

The president has made an offer, and I’ve discussed this repeatedly; there hasn’t been any serious effort by the Democrats to negotiate with the president on his offer. And, as you know, I’m prepared — always have been prepared — to give up the oath, to give up the public proceeding, although I don’t like to give it up.
