Contempt For Rove

Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was wrongly imprisoned for 9 months, largely due to a host of shady activities by members of the Bush administration and by the judge and prosecutor in his case. Today in The Huffington Post, Mr. Siegelman asks for your help in having Karl Rove held accountable for his actions. Please lend your support to having this scofflaw, nicknamed "fartblossom," dragged before Congress and forced to testify. Forward an email to your Congressman at:

In a related story, U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled that there is no legal basis for former Bush aides Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten to be considered immune to testifying before Congress. Judge Bates, a conservative, has often sided with the executive branch in the past, so the ruling comes as something of a surprise. It could also be considered an indication of how the appeal process might work out for the Bush administration. If even a judge considered a conservative by any standard spoke out so strongly against the administration's claims, then the appeal stands a much lower chance of succeeding than the White House would like.

The ruling also casts serious doubt on Karl Rove's claims that he has "absolute immunity." Unlike Miers and Bolten, who claimed "executive privelege," Rove has held himself to be above any and all laws, just because. Please help bring this sorry excuse for a man to justice.
