The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Karl Rove to testify on July 10, but on July 1 Rove announced he would defy the subpoena.

Could you or I get away with defying a Congressional subpoena? Of course not.

So why can Karl Rove? Just like George "W"orthless Bush and Dead Eye Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, believes he is above the law.

It's time for Congress to prove them wrong by using its power of "inherent contempt" to send the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Karl Rove and bring him before the full House to answer to the charge of Contempt of Congress, and to punish him to the maximum extent allowed by law, including prison.

Karl Rove is at the center of nearly every Bush Administration scandal:

the Stolen Election in Florida, when he was the Campaign Manager

the massive Iraq War lies campaign when he chaired the powerful White House Iraq Group (WHIG)

the corrupt political prosecution of Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman

the appointment of GOP political hacks to lead reconstruction in Iraq, with disastrous consequences

helping expose covert CIA operative Valerie Plame to punish her husband Joe Wilson for exposing Bush's State of the Union lie about uranium from Niger

the Stolen Election in Ohio, when he was the "Architect"

steering FEMA help after Hurricane Katrina to Mississippi under Republican Governor Haley Barbour while denying FEMA help to Louisiana under Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco

the firing of honest U.S. Attorneys to replace them with "loyal Bushies"

Despite having a top policy-making job in the White House, Karl Rove used Republican email accounts for 95% of his communications, in defiance of the Presidential Records Act. Now most of Rove's emails have been "scrubbed," in defiance of explicit instructions from Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in 2004.

The Senate and House issued subpoenas to compel Karl Rove to testify under oath and turn over his White House and RNC records, but Karl Rove is defying those subpoenas.

It' about time for Congress to enforce its subpoenas through "inherent contempt" If Rove fails to appear, the House Judiciary Committee should the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Karl Rove and bring him before Congress to answer to the charge of Contempt of Congress, and punish him to the maximum extent allowed by law, including prison.
