White House to be subpoenaed in NSA spying case

This story is rather interesting. My former litigation opponent, Bruce Afran, is planning to subpoena the Bush White House:

Two attorneys representing claimants in a lawsuit over wiretapping by the National Security Agency will subpoena the White House today…

Bruce Afran and Carl Mayer, who represent hundreds of plaintiffs in lawsuits against Verizon, AT&T, and the US Government, will announnce today that they are serving both the Bush administration and Verizon with subpoenas…

Mayer explained that the subpoena seeks to learn "whether the Bush administration has unlawfully targeted journalists, peace activists, libertarians, members of congress or generated an 'enemies list.'"

I very much doubt that we'll see Bush (or anyone from the White House) appear pursuant to this subpoena, but it's always fun to dream.

Meanwhile, I'm getting to like my old adversary, Bruce, more and more as this case progresses.
