Is it me or does the White House seem bound and determined to force a Constitutional crisis?

The Gavel:

Today, U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) issued the following statement in response to the Justice Department's failure to comply with the Committee's subpoena response deadline of 2 p.m. today. The subpoena seeks information the Department has continued to refuse to provide or has provided only in redacted form.

"We are disappointed that the Justice Department failed to produce the documents and other materials for which we issued a subpoena last week. While we understand that the Department considers this effort a priority and we plan to continue working with them, we will review all available legal options to secure compliance with the subpoena."

UPDATE: In a separate event, looks like Condi Rice has some 'splaining to do too
