Executive Privilege

Karl Rove was subpoenaed by Congress and did not go.

He said he had "executive privilege."

That argument did not work for Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton, why would it work for Karl Rove? Remember, his job right now is not with the United States government, he's an analyst on Fox News. To me, anybody employed by the federal government should answer when Congress calls. That goes both ways, when the President wants to talk to a member of Congress, he can. So when a member of Congress wants to talk to the President, he should.

But, we aren't even talking about the President, just an adviser. He is now a private citizen, not a public servant. He has no privilege, just the regular rights of an American. If I skipped out on a Congressional subpoena today, this blog would be coming from jail.

The next time a Republican like Karl Rove claims to be for the working people, remember that he claimed to be privileged.

Bottom line? Put the punk in jail.
