Rove and Deputy Jennings Subpoenaed by Senate Judiciary Committee (12:27 pm)
Paul Kiel at TPM Muckraker reports:
Finally, the big one.
The Senate Judiciary Committee issued two more subpoenas as part of the U.S. attorney firings investigation today: one for Karl Rove and the other for his deputy, Scott Jennings. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) announced the subpoenas on the Senate floor.
The question for Rove and Jennings, of course, is whether to take the same course taken by Rove’s former aide, Sara Taylor, who appeared before the committee to answer questions that were not covered by executive privilege — or to take the approach taken by Harriet Miers, who refused to show up at all.

Rove has the same problem as BUSH He thinks he is above the law, and he has a very big EGO, for a little man, he need to see a Doctor about getting his head puled out. He has been this way since 1972, all anyone has to do is ask him a question and he still will not give you a straight answer.
