House Judiciary Committee Votes To Hold Rove In Contempt of Congress

I don't know if the attempt at a citizens' arrest fazed former presidential adviser Karl Rove any yesterday, but if I were him, I'd be more concerned about this morning's vote by the House Judiciary Committee in favor of holding him in contempt. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked at Netroots Nation about Rove's being held "in the little jail cell in the basement" for his refusal to testify before Congress, and her answer was that Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers had told her, "Leave it up to me." Looks like he's started that ball rolling pretty quickly.
