WASHINGTON — Ratcheting up the stakes in a legal battle with Congress, President Bush on Wednesday ordered White House adviser Karl Rove and a senior political aide to refuse on grounds of executive privilege to testify before the Senate on the firings of nine U.S. attorneys.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called it ``a shame that this White House continues to act as if it is above the law.''
