由 大衛Edwards和Muriel Kane | Rep. Sanchez ： 應該「拿著徘徊對他的完全無視法律負有責任」。

卡爾徘徊 拒绝 作證的這個星期在國會面前關於前阿拉巴馬州長唐Siegelman的政治有動機的起訴。 眾院司法委員會的小組委員會壓倒多數地現在投票拒绝的徘徊的要求，因為一位前「接近的顧問對總統」他從必須是「憲法免疫的」作證。

MSNBC的迪維斯Shuster要求Rep。 琳達Sanchez (D-CA)，那個小組委員會椅子，什麼司法委員會其次將做。

「下一個步驟是為了充分的委員會能佔去蔑視推薦」，我由Chairman ・ Conyers告訴了的Sanchez陳述， 「他渴望做，并且從那裡它將去三張相同和二張相同的牌」。 她補充說，她「希望看卡爾徘徊使對他的完全無視法律負有責任」。

在信被送到徘徊的律師星期前， Conyers和Sanchez 威脅 那「出現的拒绝違反傳票能服從先生。 徘徊到蔑視行動，包括法律蔑視根據聯邦法律和行動在眾院的固有蔑視當局之下」。

「有一所監獄在美國國會大廈」，被指出的Shuster， 「有一段時間了未使用，但是您說，并且委員會，你的一些同事在那所監獄今晚說，您想要卡爾徘徊，如果他繼續拒绝這個委員會要求。 是那什麼您說？」

Sanchez注意了那「與多年來在國會大廈進來的某些整修，那裡真正地不在一所實際物理監獄那裡」，但是她堅持嘲笑在法律和做的， 「任何人在刑期以前是該罰的進攻在監獄應該投入」。 她相信有三張相同和二張相同的牌在蔑視將投票拿著徘徊的「非常巨大可能性」。

Shuster然後要求法律professer喬納森Turley， 「是民主人士真正地嚴肅，一直採取此？」

「我認為約翰Conyers可能很好是嚴肅的」，回復的Turley。 「行政特權的祈求由徘徊在這個問題真正地是可笑的」。

“I think the White House knows once again that it has overextended an executive privilege claim and that it would not be sustained in a court of law,” Turley continued. “No court has ever said what the White House seems to be suggesting. … It would be untenable. We would never be able to have any check on the White House.”

Turley believes that the White House is simply “trying to run the clock out.” When asked if Congress would go as far as trying to jail Rove, he answered, “I don’t think we’re going to get to that,” but he felt there is a real possibility of a vote for inherent contempt.

“Congress gave up the authority of inherent contempt under an agreement with the Justice Department that it would be an honest broker, that it would take these cases to the grand jury,” Turley explained. “What Attorney Mukasey is doing right now I think is far beyond bounds. He is refusing to let a grand jury see these cases. … So I think at this point that Congress has a right to say, ‘Deal’s off.’”

Shuster then turned to two other guests for comment. Former Bush aide Brad Blakeman insisted that Rove is just following legal advice in refusing to testify and “the president’s privilege trumps what Congress wants to do.” He suggested that when there’s a conflict between the executive and the legislative branches, “the remedy is to go to the courts.”

The Huffington Post’s Roy Sekoff replied that “Rove is thumbing his nose at the Constitution. … They think that they are above the law. … The Justice Department is refusing to take it to the grand jury.”

However, Sekoff doubts that the House will actually try to put Rove in jail. “Nothing will happen,” he stated pessimistically. “They’ll refer it to the Justice Department … and the clock will run out.”

“It’s a tremendous abuse of their power,” Blakeman argued. “They know that, and it’s exactly why they’re not going to execute on the contempt. They’re not going to lock Karl Rove up. … They want Karl Rove as a political pawn before a major election to embarrass the president.”

“In United States vs. Nixon, they found that executive privilege is not absolute,” Sekoff retorted. “It applies to military and diplomatic situations, not to a thing where Karl Rove is trying to build a permanent majority with political trickery.”
