Stan Quoted in Post re: President's Congressional Contempt Position

But Stanley Brand, who was the Democratic House counsel during the Burford case, said the administration's legal view "turns the constitutional enforcement process on its head.

Brand said the position is essentially telling Congress: "Because we control the enforcement process, we are going to thumb our nose at you."
