The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove to testify about the Bush administration's firing of U.S. attorneys.
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.
Conyers also wants him to testify on whether politics played a role in the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, a Democrat.
"I have said many times that I will carry this investigation forward to its conclusion, whether in Congress or in court, and today's action is an important step along the way," Conyers said. "Change has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it. After two years of stonewalling, it's time for him to talk."
Rove was asked to appear for a deposition on Feb. 2.

US Rep. John Conyers, Jr. Addresses "World Can't Wait"
To our friends all over the United States, that are doing exactly what we're doing here in Detroit, let's give them a big shout out! Detroit joins you in this great outpouring in which we begin the long and hard fought path to end the George Bush regime in the United States of America. This is the beginning. What we've done is demonstrate that people are aware and sensitive to the fact that we got into a war we should never have gotten into. How can you, when you think about it, how could Iraq attack the United States? The whole thing gets almost ludicrous. In all deference to some of my colleagues, whose naivete is beyond belief, I think they knew what I knew, they knew what you knew, we didn't need a preemptive strike because they had no weapons of mass destruction, they had nothing.

Soviet style show trails in the House of Representatives, taxpayer funding of overseas abortions, coddling of terrorists and profligate spending of money America doesn't have which will stimulate absolutely nothing.
We're off to a good start!

Conyers problem here is that the Dems lose big time in two years and he gets expelled from the House.
Two years later he gets indicted, convicted and hanged on the steps of the Capitol.
Everything will be legal. All the t's dotted and the i's crossed ~ but it's the sort of thing you step into with political show trials.

I’m hoping he keeps it up. Obama does not want to fight this battle now and he does not like contrarians, especially whiny contrarians.
