Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said that the House Judiciary Committee would be willing to arrest Karl Rove if the former White House official doesn't testify about his role in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006.

Wasserman Schultz, in an interview on MSNBC Tuesday, echoed the demand of House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) that Rove would not be allowed to invoke executive privilege to avoid testifying. Rove could not invoke the privilege since he said he did not have conversations with the president about the attorneys' firing, Wasserman Schultz said.

Asked by MSNBC host Dan Abrams if the committee would go far as having Rove arrested, Wasserman said it would.

"Well, if that's what it takes," she said. "I mean we really cannot allow the co-equal branch of government, the legislative branch, to be trampled upon by the executive branch. The founding fathers established three branches of government. We are a co-equal branch, and this is an administration that essentially has ignored and disrespected the role of the legislative branch for far too long."

There are oh so many more of his co-conspirators that deserve
to do hard time just waiting for their turn at accountability.

4. I wish they'd stop repeating the "co-equal" propaganda meme

They're like trained parrots.

Congress can impeach and remove the other officials. They can't do the same.

Nothing "co-equal" about it.

And impeachment -- their only moral, patriotic option -- can be done in days. Yes, really. (Something else they can't get into their bird brains.)

7. thank you for mentioning that

For the most part, the Founders thought that the legislative branch was superior to the executive branch. The legislature makes the laws, the executive merely executes them. And the commander in chief was the "first general of the army" and the "first admiral of the navy," essentially a military position. All political war powers were granted to Congress.
