Gov. Siegelman at Netroots Nation: Bush's
Undoing?
by Sam Seder of The Huffington Post

.... but the Siegelman case and other such prosecutions over the past
six years go well beyond a mere infraction of the Hatch act. These
cases are indicative of an agenda that has literally torn at the fabric of
a nation built upon the rule of law and Justice for All. This is a
corruption of the very foundations of how the United States of America
is supposed function as a democracy. When the chief law
enforcement agency has become crooked, who do you call?

Netroots Nation Welcomes Former Gov. Don
Siegelman
by Adam B of Daily KOS

Here's what Siegelman himself has said:

    I think this will make Watergate look like child's play when it is
    fully investigated, not so much this case because certainly it's
    not about me. It's about restoring justice and protecting our
    democracy and, because this case shows the lengths to which
    those who are obsessed with power will go in order to gain
    power or retain power, it has attracted the attention of the
    national press. ...

    .....That is something that we might have read about in history
    books as happening in Russia, but it is not something that
    should be allowed to happen in the United States of America.

Rove defends defiance of congressional
subpoena
By Lynn Elber AP Television Writer

Former White House adviser Karl Rove on Monday defended his
defiance of a congressional subpoena, saying he's offered lawmakers
other ways to question him about allegations of political pressure at
the Justice Department.

.....John Moody, Fox News executive vice president, was asked if it
undercuts the channel's credibility to have someone with Rove's
"political baggage" in its lineup.

.....But when a reporter tried to press the point with Moody, Rove
jumped in to dispute characterization of the dispute as personal.

"It's not between me and Congress. I've not asserted any personal
privilege. This is between the White House and Congress," Rove said.

When Rove's Lawyer, Luskin,
claimed that Rove would not testify
under oath, the House
Judiciary Committee issued a
subpoena to Mr. Rove to testify on
July 10, 2008. Karl Rove defied the
subpoena and left the country. He
currently claims executive privilege
gave him authority to defy the law.
