Karl Rove cited for contempt of congress.

Seriously though republicans, don't you think Rove should testify before congress or is the law just a "distraction" from the real issues. I mean since this wonderful congress of ours cannot get anything done, wouldn't it be great if they got to talk to this criminal.

If you look at their position, where advisors cannot be called since they don't make the decisions, then I agree with Rove for not showing up.  If you take the position that anyone who provides advice can be subject to questioning, then you can take Congresses side.  Looking at this, neither side has made their case one way or the other.

I do not know why he has to evade congress though. Why can't he just show up and answer a few questions? And hopefully he doesn't pull a Gonzales and pretend as if he has been smoking pot hourly for the last 20 years.

The executive privillege argument has merit, which doesn't exactly help the Democrats.

REJECTED! Hell yes.

Appealed.  Won't be heard until after Bush leaves office.

The argument has merit and will be litigated.

J.J., if you're referring to the article I posted, my understanding of it is they simply have to appear.  They don't have to say sh**t but they need to plop their but in the chair.

Yeah he will basically claim Amnesia and bounce. Will make for a hilarious daily show episode though. I love how he get most of his material from CSPAN. I really need to start watching that s**t.
