Republican Representative Walter Jones not only calls for Rove to testify before the House Judiciary Committee but SMACKS President Bush while doing so...

"In the year 2000 when President Bush was a candidate he said many times in debate he would bring dignity to the White House. This would be a great start if Karl Rove would come before the Judiciary Committee and let him explain his involvement, if any, in the Don Siegelman case."

Meanwhile Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez states that she "personally would love to see" Rove arrested and held in jail where there would be a trial in the House of Representatives.

But before anyone gets overly excited it is important to point out that it is now up to Nancy Pelosi to have a vote in the full House. And Sanchez was already hedging on the Speaker's behalf stating that it would depend on whatever else takes priority legislatively.

Further, Pelosi has changed her tune many times and by most indications will not act on this. Because in Nancy Pelosi's world the rule of law, Constitution, equal branches of government and oversight must take a back seat to picking up a few more seats in the House and Senate.

5. Since his "Freedom Fries" BS, Jones has evolved.
He and his wife regularly visit wounded soldiers, and apparently, even though he is a Republican, he is human, and the human cost of the war has affected him deeeply.

2. Pelosi does nothing on impeachment and looks like she will do nothing on this...
She is looking awfully scumbaggish these days.
A few more seats would really help though, as far as filibusters go, and if the presidential veto were on the dems side as well... well, lets just say that if all that happens there had better be some pretty f-in serious changes made in America.

4. Rep Walter Jones (R-NC) talks about things that haven't been mentioned for quite some time.
I know nothing about him, but what he says here is good.

7. I wonder why they are letting this go until September when
other competing projects will fill their agenda?

9. It'll take a Republican to do something about it.
It sure as shit won't be a Democrat doing anything, not with the knock-kneed, quivering, pathetic, chickenshit cowards that pass for Democratic "leadership" nowadays.
