Rove failed to show before congress, again. Is it really a case of national security?

Asked by free (125points) February 23rd, 2009

OK, the charge of political bias has been leveled in regards to the dismissal of several US attorneys, since when is this a matter of national security? Rove is hiding under Bush’s invocation of immunity from prosecution, executive privilege. If Rove is a patriot should he show respect? He could choose not to answer certain questions, this was the way it used to be, the security exemption was never used as a blanket excuse. Is it time for congress to make a stand, to declare the end of the Bush legacy of disregard for the workings of the law?

none of us are legal scholars(I guess)so this is more like a poll…should Rove be forced to appear?

Actually I’m pretty sure it is a case of Rove being a complete idiot and quite possibly the anti-Christ.

Imagine if this was how things worked during the Nixon regime?

If he was in Chicago in the 1930’s he would never appear again anywhere

The world has changed in the last few decades.

If there is a matter if national security or executive privilege, somethig needs to be communicated to Congressional leaders. Since he’s still under subpoena, even though he no longer has access to any classified information, he’s just an asshole who doesn’t want to get yelled at by a Democratic panel that doesn’t have the guts to actually hold him accountable for his actions.
