Sen. Patrick Leahy issued a subpoena to the Justice Department today for all of Karl Rove's e-mails relating to the the U.S. Attorney firings.

“Attached please find a subpoena compelling the Department by May 15 to produce any and all emails and attachments to emails to, from, or copied to Karl Rove related to the Committee’s investigation into the preservation of prosecutorial independence and the Department of Justice’s politicization of the hiring and firing and decision-making of United States Attorneys, from any (1) White House account, (2) Republican National Committee account, or (3) other account, in the possession, custody or control of the Department of Justice,” Leahy said in a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

The deadline is May 15.

    aren't these guys gonna just make stuff up

    like those signing statements?

    once a week a so I'll attempt one of ya'll's legal eagle diaries and ... whew.

    if you got the facts, argue ... fantasy?

    if you got phantasy, argue facts?

    ;)

    isn't this gonna turn into some rat's nest of 60 page decisions? and, seriously,

    the more words, the more sentences, the bigger the words and the bigger the sentences

    the less clarity?

    the more loopholes?

    I just feel like there isn't much justice in our law, but there sure as hell is a LOT of opportunity for creative loopholing and big paychecks.

    1 week dred scott, the next week ... ?

    oh well.

    rmm.
