    Robert Wexler

    "If Rove refuses to testify voluntarily and ignores the subpoenas that will certainly be issued, he should be held in Inherent Contempt of the House of Representatives.

    No American is above the law. None of us should be able to ignore Congress without consequence. If Mr. Rove ignores a subpoena from the Judiciary Committee, then the House of Representatives should pass an Inherent Contempt citation and exercise our right to send the House Sergeant-of-Arms to gather Mr. Rove and bring him before Congress to testify."

    "Enough is enough. We have a Constitutional obligation to provide accountability to a White House that is trying usurp the constitutional powers of Congress."

    Bravo To Robert Wexler. We must demand that Congress stand up to hoodlums and renegades like Rove, Cheney, Meyers, Roberto Gonsalez, and Mukasey. Without a Congress, there is no government of or by the people. And right now we do not have a Congress.

      Federal prosecution

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Siegelman#cite...

      FWIKI

      "Alabama's U.S. Attorneys began a criminal investigation of Governor Siegelman in 1999 based on accusations of corruption while in office. In 2004, Siegelman was indicted, and in 2006 was convicted on corruption charges."

      So how did Rove get the Alabama's U.S. Attorneys in 1999 to begin an investigation of Siegelman?

      Rove had nothing to do with the Federal government in 1999.

      "In short, Siegelman as lieutenant governor from 1995 to 1999 and governor from 1999 to 2003 was accused of trading government favors for campaign donations."

        So the timeline is like this.

        From 1995 to 1999 Siegelman was suspected of being corrupt. In 1999 the US attorney started an investigation.

        The investigations lead to indictments and finally conviction in 2006.

        Exactly how did Rove cause this guy to be corrupt from 1995 to 1999?

        If he's a crook he's a crook don't matter what anyone else says.

        Couldn't beat him in an election?

        The same could be said of Duke Cunningham. Duke Cunningham is in prison now because he was a crook just like this clown Siegelman.

          injest, nice try for you can try to show some consistency but you only say such when you know you have a dem in the gun sights. How about the Cuban immigrant living freely in Miami that blew up an airliner with 76 innocent passengers on it - freedom fighter not terrorist to you right wingers! How about all those Repug pardons from Watergate to Iran Contra to Plamegate?

          injest, come to alabama and listen to radio for all the religious stations (they all carry the repug political lies) and the Repug only commercials in this Repug dominated state and you will shut up!

          Right now all I see for political commercials on TV are more repugs saying the same BS that has convinced 82% of Americans the country is headed the wrong way!

          Yes, repugs running for the jobs that career repugs are quiting, disgusted by the vile tactics they used in their 109th "Do Nothing" Congress.

            "Rove had nothing to do with the Federal government in 1999."

            if you think Rove didn't have his dirty little fingers involved in govt in 1999 just cause he was "working" in the private sector for enron at the time, you're much more naive than I first suspected.

              These are the actions of criminals, they should be investigated and every judge they appoint should be removed because it's clear to me that they set up the courts so that they can continue their criminal activities long after they are out of the white house!

                This helps me sleep at night.

                Whatever rules, end-runs, or whatever the Bushies have actively created to wipe their arses with the Constitution, the next president can do one of two things:

                1) declare all those actions, hirings, firings, rules, etc unconstitutional and void - as if they never happened

                and/or

                2) pick and choose which ones to co-opt in the pursuit of justice AGAINST the Bushies.
