Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove was deposed Tuesday by attorneys for the House Judiciary Committee, according to Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the panel’s chairman. Rove’s deposition began at 10 a.m. and ended around 6:30 p.m, with several breaks, Conyers said.
And that's about all he said on the subject.

[Harriet] Miers was interviewed by Judiciary Committee staffers in June.
This is good news for the subpoena power that was once the most important thing about winning back the House in 2006. If you ignore the fact that it's currently 2009, that is.
In reality, of course, there's a strong argument for the slow and methodical procedure the committee has adopted. And we can all hope with fingers crossed that the process ends up validating some legal precept that can be of use later in enforcing subpoenas with speed and dispatch. But it would be ridiculous to note this event without also noting the disconnect between what high-ranking Members of Congress thought they were capable of delivering, and what anybody who read the rules and understood what the Bush "administration" was really about could (and did) predict.
Not unlike the debacles surrounding the seating of Senators Burris and Franken, or the Myth of 60.
