regarding using the house sergeant-at-arms
I just got off the phone with a staffer of the house judiciary where I was calling about using the sergeant-at-arms if the DOJ refuses to enforce the subpeona's against karl rove and hariet miers. A staffer there informed me that they are looking into using this to enforce it. So it looks like even if they try to deflect this to the courts, they're screwed. Woohoo!
Small update: I'm a tad skeptical too as noted in the comments thread. But the beautiful part about it is that if we do this it leaves the courts unable to do much but sit there and cry. It's the house using it's own court empowerments to enforce it's own directive. This would mean that the WHITE house would have to be the one to file to the SCOTUS instead of us filing to them against the DOJ for contempt, they'd be filing against us. By then it's too late, just like they tried to do to us.
As to the question of if the sergeant at arms could break through white house security, He wouldn't come alone, there would be a truckload of capital police.
