Why don't the cops drag Rove's treasanous ass in?

like would happen to anyone else who doesn't honor a supeana?

1. Contempt on Congress

hasn't been charged. And, it's not a criminal offense, but, rather, a civil one.

2. I really think they are dragging this out until after the election on purpose-

Bush will immediately pardon him- no matter what happens so if they wait until after he's out of office, there's more of a chance to not only arrest him, but make him stand trial as well. Just a thought.

8. Delayed gratification is tough

I hope it happens.

3. He's too heavy?

[Sugarcoated]

6. Uh-huh

and a greased pig

[MiaCulpa]

4. It's up to congress

They would have to send the sargeant at arms to pick him up. They can call it anytime they want. If they want...

7. They Actually Have A Jail Cell In The Basement Of The Capitol

Maybe waterboarding apparatus.

12. I heard not long ago that it was no longer there.

10. If it were the other way around

would Republican's do that? Not they would ever have to since Dems don't have the hubris to think they're above the law.

5. Why would the police waste their time?

They know that it would be a complete waste of time. Either the Democrats would throw their hands in the air and say "Why would the police arrest him? We just wanted to talk? This is completely unprofessional and irresponsible police action!" or Bush would pardon him immediately.

Rove is part of the privileged class that the law and civic responsibility can't touch.

9. Yep. Hope this a picture of the future...

[Initech]

11. Kinda OT, but Hannity looks like he's about ready to take a huge shit in that picture.

Back OT, yeah, they should drag his ass in!

13. Conyers and Pelosi are scared that's why

warantless wiretapping pays off
