Karl Rove, the political architect of President Bush's two successful campaigns for the White House, ignored a congressional subpoena Thursday to testify about his alleged roles in political influence at the Justice Department and the prosecution of a former Arkansas governor.

Rove, who has claimed immunity, now faces possible contempt proceeding by the House Judiciary subcommittee that issued the subpoena.

Coop glad you got this out, It should be Alabama (not Arkansas).

"Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., and Committee Chairman John Coyners, D-Mich., previously said Rove wasn't immune from testifying. Among the findings listed in Sanchez' ruling posted on the committee's Web site was that Rove's claims of "absolute immunity directly contradict the conduct of this and past administrations with respect to White House officials appearing before Congress." via: upi.com
