Rove is a political operative paid by U.S. taxpayers

subpoena his ass, and, if he doesn't appear, arrest him for contempt of congress...

"The Senate Judiciary Committee’s effort to land presidential adviser Karl Rove as a witness runs headlong into the Bush White House’s well-established reluctance to subject high-level staffers or internal documents to Congressional scrutiny," Rachel Van Dongen writes for Roll Call. "But intense political pressure surrounding the U.S. attorneys scandal — in which Rove has become a prominent player — could overwhelm the administration’s opposition."

A former assistant attorney general under President Reagan, Charles Cooper, believes that if the White House permits Rove to testify that it would be “extraordinary."

“I don’t think it’s going to happen because I think the president is going to react very negatively,” Cooper told Roll Call. The president has a “very serious attitude towards ... protecting the prerogatives and dignity of his office.”

by all rights, rove shouldn't even be WORKING inside the white house... he should be over at republican party hq, paid by republican party funds...
