It's patriotic to question our leaders. Only sheep and fools don't.

It is treasonous, however, to out CIA operatives.

Karl Rove so belongs in jail. Too bad he didn't work for the weakling Democrats; the Republicans would've put him away by now.

You should really seek professional therapy, you--like so many liberals0--have this complete and utterly irrational fixation on Karl Rove.

Which part of HE WAS NOT THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK have you not figured out yet. Ever hear of Richar Armitage? He is the one who was responsible for her name being published, why aren't you fixated on him?

Has it ever occured to you that the reason nobody was convicted for the leak (despite numberous people TESTIFYING that they had discussed the matter with reporters) was because no law was actually broken?

The entire investigation was a travesty, the Special Prosecutor new the day he was appointed who the leaker was, and no charges were ever brought.

Because Armitage wasn't as close to the President as Rove was. Ergo, libs will fixate on whoever they have to in pathetic attempts to continue to make Bush look bad.

Libs believe that, if they something long enough, people will eventually believe it's the truth...

Story Update:

U.S. House Panel Votes to Hold Karl Rove in Contempt

This is more or less a symbolic gesture. I wonder if they will go further.

Re: Rove Served Subpoena

As long as Bush keeps pressing the executive privilege dodge, and as long as the Congress still can't find their spine (except in their mouths), I figure this is about as far as it will go.

Re: Rove Served Subpoena

There will be pardons.

Many, many pardons.

Probably classified pardons, too.

Re: Rove Served Subpoena

Seems logical to me. If you don't grant pardons, I'm guessing those people could be prosecuted after Bush leaves office.

So....What part of Don Siegelman haven't you heard of??

Congress as asking to testify in connection with that case, not the Plame case.

(D'uh!)

Its moot. Executive privledge means squat even now. Congress can hold Rove in contempt, assess some sort of punishement, and rove can appeal. A court gets to decide the outcome. Im with Rove on this. Screw congress. They are abusing their power.

Were you feeling the same way with the Congress' treatment of Clinton?

Can a POTUS pardon someone "in case" they get convicted? What if the trial is after Jan 20? Maybe thats what the Dens are waiting for?

I must respectfully disagree. There has never been more of a case to investigate an administration then now.

I think Ford did just that with Nixon after Ford became President IIRC. Many people said this proved a deal had been made to give Ford the Veep in exchange if Nixon should resign, but I think Ford was given the Veep before Nixon was under any real suspicion.

I think the Pres is actually immune to prosecution for anything he does while in office, though he can be impeached. More's the pity but then the US was designed for Pols who look on Abraham Lincoln as their ideal, not the Borgia Popes.
