Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

Is their appeal based on the fact that government officials are above the law? This is ridiculous! How would that be "impair(ing) the ability of senior government officials to lead the department..." According to the article:

Bernanke cannot be forced to sit for a deposition because high-ranking U.S. government officials are generally protected from being drawn into time-consuming civil litigation, the Justice Department said in its petition.

The petition was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington.

"The demands of civil litigation, if not appropriately limited by the courts, will impair the ability of senior government officials to lead the departments and agencies for which they are responsible," the petition said.
