He doesn't show for a Congressional Subpoena?

Detain, handcuff, and frogmarch the cowardly creep. Let him rot in the basement of the Capitol until he is sufficiently motivated to obey Congress.

If nothing is done about this flagrant disregard of our laws, then the democratic leadership in the house should be replaced. No, they must be replaced. Pelosi is the worst speaker of the house in the history of congress. No impeachment, no oversight, no respect for the law and she is continuing to support Bush! I'm completely disgusted with her and Hoyer. Everyone should be buring up her office's fax machine and letting her know of the utter disgust we hold for her in her neglect of her office's responsibilities. I find it so interesting that she denies any instructions to the committee not to proceed with contempt charges but they do not take action to enforce their own orders for Rove's appearance!

Is there some reason I don't know about that he can't be arrested?

How about one of those strongly worded letters that Conyers and Waxman are so adept at,or at which they`re so adept if you prefer?

"Is there some reason I don't know about that he can't be arrested?"

There is no reason he CANNOT be arrested, but there are many reasons he WON'T be arrested... at least not now.

To make a long story short, ALL of these clowns are protecting their OWN turf and security. Rove may well be arrested at some point, but it will be just prior to Bush's departure, whereinn he can pardon him and the others, so it may well be that Rove spends one or two days in detention. that way, the democrats will be able to tell its audience (that's us) what a great job they did bringing this guy to justice. Meanwhile, they won't offend the other mobsters (that's the republicans in power.

The result: both parties continue to rule and the only losers are the fools who keep putting their heads in the sand so they won't be able to see what's actually going on... (that's the common folk out here who keep believing we are playing some kind of game and it's OUR team against THEIR team...) IMHO

There is no reason he CANNOT be arrested, but there are many reasons he WON'T be arrested... at least not now.

One of them being that he's currently in Sweden.

But when he returns it would be nice if someone is there to pick him up at the airport. ;)

Why not TODAY! Why do the Dems always bluster, threaten and write angry letters and then DO NOTHING?

The Repubs almost always vote together to block anything happening in Congress, while a large block of the Dem majority party often votes with the minority...thus crippling their leadership in achieving anything of substance!

When are the criminals in this administration going to be held accountable? Impeach, indict and imprison the bastards!

Bush is running out the clock on everything including this Rove thing:

-GTMO prosecutions - need more time to prepare?
-Any and all IG investigations at any and all agencies - you'll never see a report
-Troop withdrawals- even now that the Iraqi's are asking us to leave
-(everything I can't think of right now)

If Bush cites privilege over Rove, that seems to implicate him in a crime while in office. The legal wrangling that this no-show kicks off will not be resolved until next summer, if ever. Mukasey's BS testimony yesterday and Pelosi's opposition to impeachment prove nobody will take responsibility for anything. What a joke. Stonewalling works. How the heck were the repugs able to impeach Clinton so quickly?

Karl Rove can't claim executive priviledge. It's not his to claim. Executive priviledge belongs to the President. The President should be challenged to claim this, publicly, on behalf of whomever he believes is entitled - each and every time. Otherwise, yhe committee must follow through and arrest the minion.

The Girly-Crats will punish Rove with a very stern hand-wringing.

Huh. . . and I thought the GOP was big on "rule of law." Silly me.

For the most part, the Dems on that committee are a bunch od slack-jawed troglodites and pussies herded around by a cowardly cunt.

They should hold a hearing about his refusal to attend the hearing!!

Oh, those Republifascists will get such a letter... *shaking fist* ... and then be allowed to do whatever the hell they want, again.

Didn't the DC Circuit just suggest that Congress has the right to enforce its own Contempt issues in the last couple of weeks? I say Mr. Rove might like a little time down in Washington's crypt while Congress and the White House fight about Executive Privilege....

----------------arrest the bastard---------------

Rove has clearly just won.. game, set, and match.

Conyers needs to stop pretending to uphold the law and take a long vacation.

Conyers is giving Rove 5 more days according to Raw Story... good lord does he think that he is going to change his mind in 5 days?!? It makes me want to puke. Gee I wonder if Congress is trying to get their approval raings down to zero!

I mean I'm shocked. Really shocked!

Contempt for Congress?

Well Congress has contemt for itself, lets see, impeachment off the table, immunity for Telcos, Libby pardoned, and Rove actually ignored them???

I mean I'm shocked. Really shocked!

According to a story that is posted at www.rawstory.com, Rove wasn't even in the country the day he was supposed to be testifying. I wonder if Karl headed to a place like Ireland. It would be a smart move as they have no extradition treaty with the US and it seems a favortie spot for political thugs to hide their funds while being untouchable to the long arm of the law.

Perhaps Conyers wants to hold off until Judge Bates issues a decision in the Miers case....

Is it possible that the Dems are actually afraid not of political repercussions, but for their lives? I mean, when Sens. Daschle and Leahy held up the Patriot Act to try to amend it they got letters with anthrax of a strain from an American military lab, and after an Alabama Republican political operative decided to testify that a Rove aide was in charge of railroading Gov. Siegelman, her house was burned down and her car run off the road. Then there's the rumor that the neighborhood near the Sen. Wellstone plane crash experienced a momentary power interruption consistent with what would happen if a strong electronic pulse that could cause loss of control in a small plane were discharged. Alright that last one is pretty speculative given the weather, but the others are straight fact.

Not that that's an excuse for dereliction of duty because what logically follows is that all a lawless administration would have to do to triumph is to physically intimidate Congress. Wait a minute, hasn't that already happened?

There is alot more to WELLSTONE MURDER than just some "electro magnetic pulse anomoly".

WEATHER DOPPLER RADAR shows a very interesting signature...that also shows up at MEL CARNEHAN weather radar map? Anybody check the JFK JR weather maps? How about the CON AIR CRASHES when airplanes stall and fall out of the sky when engines fail mysteriously (Alex Constantine's black list blog...covered Con Air...found that people onboard were tied to the election software used to steal the ballot count).

Also...MINNEAPOLIS FBI COUNTER INTEL AGENT STEVEN PLUTA had prior knowledge with his pals...they landed in Duluth about the time that Wellstone's plane went down...and seemed to show up in EVELETH AIRPORT almost immediatly after the local airport reported the plane down?

FBI also "seized the Duluth, Mn, airport logs" without a warrant so that "no one knows exactly when Minneapolis FBI landed in Duluth" and therefore "nobody knows when they took off from the twin cities"?

BLUE SMOKE was seen from the tail section of WELLSTONE's plane...but the fuel tanks and fuselage did not have any smoke?

DOUBLE ALTIMETER CUTTING CHARGES ON THE HYDRAULICS controlling the rear tail rudder and stabilizers?

WHO TOOK CONTROL OF A PLANE CRASH...when FBI DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION over plane crashs, unless they "have articulated suspicion that it was a fed crime" (Terrorism, or FED CRIM OF VIOLENCE)?

CARMODY from NTSB always handles the plane crash murders of Democratic politicians (CARNEHAN, WELLSTONE, who else?).

WHO TOOK CONTROL OF THE PLANE WRECKAGE AFTER THE CRASH? Same company who did CARNEHAN evidence?

That wreckage could be checked to see if the engine electrical was fried with EMP pulse cannon, and TRACE EVIDENCE OF C4 IN TAIL SECTION....no?

DEMS don't want to see photos?...or NTSB file?...or ask these obvious quesions?

hi, andar here, i just read your post. i like very much. agree to you, sir.
