That’s pretty pathetic, IMO, and definitely not the stance of a guy who ISN’T afraid of testifying before Congress.

Jesus Mary and Joseph help us! Can you imagine a blue collar individual making such a statement in response to a congressional subpoena? “Ummm Reps. I had a trip planned and your subpoena did not fit into my schedule” SLAM! The gavel would come down, the Sergeant of Arms would be at my or your door or at the airport to arrest your ass, throw you into prison and maybe throw away the keys.

Enough All Ready ! ENOUGH! Arrest Karl’s yellow belly and lily white ass. Now.

I am tired of hearing about equal justice under the law hogwash. DO IT!

Karl Rove Fled The Country To Avoid Congressional Hearings (great clip)
http://www.crooksandliars.com/…..-hearings/

Bradbury says

The separation of powers principles that protect a president from compelled congressional testimony also apply to senior presidential advisers. … Thus, “[s]ubjecting a senior presidential advisor to the congressional subpoena power would be akin to requiring the President himself to appear before Congress on matters relating to the performance of his constitutionally assigned functions.” fn omitted.

…

What if Congress just wanted to question Rove about his political activities? What’s to prevent that?

Where are the RNC e-mails?
What was your political calculus on ‘getting’ Siegelman?
Did you direct Jennings to give a political pep talk at Cookies Doans place?
Did you have a hand in the USA firings because of the potential need for politically loyal people come election time?
Do you know anything about the deaths of USAs or AUSAs?
Did you know that using RNC computers for official government bidness was illegal?

There is a lot of territory which is just about political activities.
