Will You Tune In to Watch Karl Rove Under Subpoena Answering Senate Questions?

[David Zephyr]

I gotta tell you, if Senator Feinstein delivers on her stated intentions to make Karl Rove testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about his shabby role in pressuring U.S. attorneys to do the biddings of the Republican Party against the Democratic Party, I will be glued to my television.

Will you watch?

Will you be making popcorn for the occasion?

Karl Rove under oath! Will he take the 5th? Will he even show up?

Will the sphincter muscles in the Republican party be working overtime?

[whistle]

1. Probably not, I don't need to listen to any more of his lies

[seemslikeadream]

2. Glued to the TV

[Donnachaidh]

3. Gotta get to Costco to stock up on popcorn!

I'm THERE. :headbang: :popcorn:

[bdamomma]

4. or will he make up his own rules?

and say he is not obligated to testify in front of the committee.

[BOSSHOG]

5. I think the event merits prime time status

[niyad]

6. he won't show--and I wouldn't watch--it will be nauseating enough just reading about it afterwards.

snowjob already said staffers NEVER go to the Hill, so they are clearly going to stonewall.

I cannot stomach even looking at these repulsive people, much less listening to them.

[ninkasi]

7. I'd watch

but I don't think that he would tell the truth if he thought he could get away with lying instead. Being under oath means nothing to these bastards. Their statements are calculated according to whether or not they think they can get away with a lie, if a lie will serve them better.

8. I'll cancel my patients

like my orthodontist did the afternoon that Alexander Butterfield testified all those years ago.

[blogslut]

9. totally

I wanna see.

[Bitwit1234]

10. White House said he's not gonna testify..

They said they would give the committee all the info but rove does not have to go before the committe...they say their staff is exempt from testifying. HUH!!!!!!

[Sapere aude]

11. It ain't going to happen

[Blackhatjack]

12. He will invoke 'executive privilege' and refuse to answer any questions...

Of course nothing will stop the questions from being asked while he is sitting there.

Then everyone will know that the 'constitutional crisis has arrived.'

If Rove were to leave office before he was subpoenoed to appear and testify, they would have a better chance of forcing him to testify or take the 5th Amendment privilege(which must be based on a good faith belief that your testimony will subject you to criminal prosecution).

13. ABSOLUTELY! I'm sure it's gonna take some time to get through

all the roadblocksthe admin throws in the way of him ever appearing, but there IS presidence for a non-confirmed WH employee totestify before Congress, so I expect an ultimate win.

I not only have the popcorn ready, I have the beer too!

[malaise]

14. I will not move from in front of the TV

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[aquart]

15. Yes. I watched Watergate hearings gavel to gavel.

[Double T]

16. The WH's supreme sphincter will lie as usual..........

and blame everyone else.

[etherealtruth]

17. It'll never happen

:(

[driver8]

18. No, but I will tune in to watch him being led away in handcuffs.

I can't stand that tub of shit. I can't stand to look at him or listen to him.

[mnhtnbb]

19. I might be tempted. Not sure my bullshitometer wouldn't explode, though.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. Not popcorn - maybe break open that expensive bottle of wine and a little cheese

to savor one of the delicious moments in life.

[catmandu57]

21. When it happens, yes

I think there's going to be a hell of a fight to get that bastard there, it'll probably go to the SC, and i don't think even these justices will allow kkkarl to live outside the law. In the meantime all their efforts to protect * and his rover is going to erode the support that * has left, even the dirty thirty are going to meltaway.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

22. Beautiful, isn't it?

I just saw Witch Oh Burn (aka Kate O'Beirne) on Hardball state that there's nothing unusual about a President replacing his U.S. Attorneys, UNLESS it was done for the WRONG reason (i.e. influencing an investigation). If even the Witch admits the possibility that monkey business was going on, that's a major breach in the castle wall and the peasants are now about to assault the Castle Keep itself.

[David Zephyr]

23. Well, the world has turned since I first posted this earlier today.

Jeez. What a constitutional moment we are experiencing.

[Gabi Hayes]

24. Does anybody think that this won't turn up before the FSCOTUS?

F stands for Fascist

recall what they did with Cheney's Energy Taskforce records

I can't imagine this will turn out differently

they'll probably do what they did in 2000, and say this doesn't set any precedent, as it overturns all rulings against Clinton when he argued for Exec Priv
