Pam Miles of AfterDowningStreet reports that she has firm confirmation that Nancy Pelosi is urging the Judiciary committee to not hold Rove in Contempt of Congress for his blatant contempt in not showing up to evoke executive privilege. Just a glorious F.U. to any oversight. And, to the American people.

First, we have masses of I don’t recall and I don’t remember’s. Then we have David Addington testifying with the attitude of a 14 year old who has been told it wouldn’t be wise to follow her friends over the cliff (But, everyone does it!). And I won’t go into Professor Yoo, of University of California Berkeley’s Boalt Hall, whose torture memos are now infamous.

I pondered the other day how this administration has managed to keep Congress on such a short leash. It’s not surprising that it will be forthcoming the level which this administration has spied on Congress. There is little in the way of explanations for what has taken place in the last seven years.

In the 2006 midterm elections, Congress was given a mandate (with 22 of the 33 seats going to the Democrats). Additionally, three red strongholds were lost to Democrats in recent special elections, further showing that the American public is tired of Republican rule. Yet, the Democrats continue to fold like cheap chairs.

So, with this, I ask you two things:

1) Call your elected officials and tell them not to let Rove off that easily. Pam has an extensive list of contact telephone numbers and you can also get all of your elected official contact information here.

And,

2) Tell me, why do YOU think the our elected officials are rolling over on all of us?
