OMG - Are we really going to live long enough to see this ????

Karl Rove needs to appear before the House Judiciary Committee within a week, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) writes in the Post’s lead item Friday morning. If he doesn't, "We'll hold in contempt" or "have him arrested," Conyers adds

1. Out of touch
I don't think Rove understands that his day has passed. I think this change has come so fast, it's going to be hard for these thugs to internalize the new reality - that they are, indeed, subject to the laws of the United States, just like the rest of us.

Conyers is NOT screwing around.

25. They haven't yet adjusted to being subject to the law of gravity.
The day they arrest Rove I will send you a picture of my smiling face, reflected in my wedding ring. Or a jar of tartar sauce, your choice.

27. How about
a picture of Rove with tartar sauce and a screaming seal in the background?

2. It would be the best day ever.
I used to hold that honor for the day W left the WH, but this would eclipse that by a mile.

4. I'm with you, Pats
I'll raise my glass with you in a toast and give Conyers a big, fat kiss the next time I see him if he actually does this.

We want him to do it; don't frighten him.

7. I agree. With Bush, he's so unbelievable oblivious to how much
people hate him - he won't even know people will want the door to slam him in the ass when
he goes. Kind of takes something away for the joy of it all. Rove will definitely
know. I just worry that he so diabolical that he's covered his bases with Seigelman and
there won't be any proof. But Don's out there in everyone's face - make's you truly
believe he's got the goods on him.

15. I have no doubt
the shredders are working overtime in DC with the impending ass-kicking the Repubs are about to receive. But this has to happen now, before W preemptively pardons him on January 19th.

3. Would LOVE to see it. But, I am under no illusions. DUzy for the pic, though.
Rove can do whatever he wants whenever he wants as often as he wants.

At least, until a new president takes office. Then? I predict South America for Karl.

13. VE day, VJ day, and no now VR day?
My parents told me about VE day....Victory in Europe and VJ day .......Victory over Japan. I can only hope to have the memory of Victory over Rove.... VR day. Send out the Sergent at Arms( is that the term)? of the senate and haul his ass in to account for his actions. I hope they open his Pandora's box.

19. I think Rove will squeal.
He's going to bring down the whole house of cards rather than face prison.

21. call my cynical, but I'll believe it when I see it
Team Bush knows the courts are stacked with Republican appointees all the way up to the Scotus, so they'll take their chances with holding out.

23. NOPE.
It should have happened last year. Now that we're in an election cycle, nothing will happen.

Even if Rove testifies, he won't give up any incriminating evidence. And if he doesn't, the Democratic leadership doesn't have the ca-hones to do anything about it. Notice what Conyers said, "We'll hold in contempt" or "have him arrested," . We've hear that threat for over a year. At this point, I'd be shocked if they even hold him in contempt. And if the do actually hold him in contempt, so what! What's the penalty? A wag of the finger?

30. The U.S. Marshals Service would be the ones to execute any such warrant.
Edited on Fri May-16-08 11:04 PM by sharesunited
But the Marshals Service resides within the Bush-Mukasey Justice Department.

So now you know the rest of the story.

32. I believe the Sergeant at Arms actually has a small force at his command that has the authority...
...to arrest anyone the Congress damn well pleases and haul their butts back in to Congress. The Sgt of Arms is under Congress's authority, not Mukasey's.

So I've read. Here at DU. For what it is worth.

34. Thanks for that. I think it's erroneous. Jurisdiction to compel members.
Not witnesses. Hell, the Sergeant at Arms staff has even been turned down for Special Deputy Marshal status. Can't even carry guns.

No, they are in charge of running the barber shop and ejecting visitors with objectionable t-shirts.

I don't see either the authority or the teeth there. What if Rove is packing?

35. I'm so jaded at this point that I will only believe it if I see it, that is, impeachment & the rest
The Dems and everyone else in Washington are just running out the clock on this evil stinking administration, hoping that nothing else bad happens. Unfortunately, Cheney and Bush have plenty of venom left, and they want to start a war with Iran. I think they are just insane enough to try it.
