Congressman Wexler: Inherent Contempt for Rove
2008-05-16 03:05:00 Congressman Robert Wexler: "Last night, I appeared on MSNBC's Verdict with Dan Abrams to discuss Karl Rove's outrageous refusal to appear before Congress regarding serious allegations that he used the US Justice Department to take down a prominent Democratic politician. It is alleged that Mr. Rove personally instigated the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegleman. The case has been criticized by legal experts, and 52 former state attorney generals – both Republicans and Democrats – have criticized the case and called for an investigation. (You may view the clip here.)If Rove refuses to testify voluntarily and ignores the subpoenas that will certainly be issued, he should be held in Inherent Contempt of the House of Representatives.No American is above the law. None of us should be able to ignore Congress without consequence. If Mr. Rove ignores a subpoena from the Judiciary Committee, then the House of Representatives should pass an Inherent Contempt citation ...

My congressman?s advice on oil, gas prices ? not so good
2008-05-02 22:05:00 My congressman sent me his May 2008 newsletter today via e-mail to explain to me why gasoline prices are so high and what he’s doing about it. His analysis is unimpressive. According to the newsletter and its link to his Web site, Rep. John R. “Randy” Kuhl (R-N.Y.) says: Why are gas prices so high? The high price of gasoline results from the cost of crude oil, the world demand and supply for oil, our limited refining capacity, and taxes. [emphasis added] But what didn’t make his list? Rep. Kuhl did not mention the role of a weakened dollar in the cost of crude. Nor did he point to speculation ? which Congress said added $20 to a barrel of oil back when oil cost $70 per barrel ? as a root cause of precipitous price increases. According to Peter Way of Block Traders’ Oil & Gold Monitor: [W]e observed that a tug-of-war was developing between the regulars and the newer speculators that would influence world energy costs. Until recently, the contest ha...
