Thomas Paine -- wrote in Common Sense: "in America the law is King. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other."
Somehow this rumor was floating around blogsites that Nancy Pelosi is urging the Judiciary committee NOT to go forward with contempt against Rove.
From Huffington Post:
And apparently it's false. Pelosi's communications director Brendan Daly sent us the following statement:
Those reports are completely untrue -- the Speaker has not urged the Judiciary Committee not to seek contempt charges against Karl Rove.
The committee can seek a contempt citation if it decides to do so. (Fyi, Henry Waxman's Oversight Committee is looking at a contempt citation against the attorney general over documents. The Speaker has no objections to that -- it's the committee's decision.)
A source with the House Judiciary Committee also denied Pelosi was opposing contempt charges.
