Hearing Next Week on Constitutional Questions Raised by the FBI’s Raid

From the press release:

House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wis.) announced the Committee will hold an oversight hearing next week on the constitutional questions raised by the FBI’s unprecedented Saturday night raid of Rep. William Jefferson’s (D-La.) Capitol Hill office. Chairman Sensenbrenner stated, “Members of Congress must follow the law and be held accountable just like everyone else. By no means, should Rep. Jefferson’s alleged conduct be condoned, but there is a constitutional way for justice to be served. The FBI’s unprecedented Saturday night raid of Rep. Jefferson’s Capitol Hill Office raises profoundly disturbing constitutional questions that must be addressed.”
