House Judiciary chairman subpoenas Karl Rove |
2009-01-27 |
![]() The subpoena Monday by Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers continues a long-running legal battle. Rove previously refused to appear before the panel, contending that former presidential advisers cannot be compelled to testify before Congress. Rove was asked to appear for a deposition on Feb. 2. Conyers also wants him to testify on whether politics played a role in the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, a Democrat. Rove's former boss, ex-President George W. Bush, upheld Rove's legal position but it has been rejected by a federal judge. |

#5 To the Dems, "bipartisan cooperation" means that the Republicans vote the way the Democrats want them to. |

#4 So much for bi-partisan cooperation and reaching across the aisle. It's been one week and already the gloves are off. |

#3 I hope Conyers continues his efforts and I hope the Dems publicly investigate other Bush White House actions. Voters are going to be pissed off enough as millions lose jobs and then realize the "stimulus" package was a fraud. To also have congress settling political scores while the economy burns will cost the Democrats even more seats. |

#1 Conyers is about to get a slap in the head, Chicago Way. If he keep this charade going, O is going to have a harder time getting rid of Fitz. One might think Rove would love to help Conyers drag this out. |
