Karl Rove...why is he so untouchable?

Is the U.S. Congress slipping in its responsibility to make Karl Rove appear getting less and less importance? He is appearing all over the country and still he has not been picked up for Contempt of Congress. Regular citizens have tried and failed but at least they have more guts to do what Congress won't do. Making a citizen's arrest which is the right of all citizens have proved to no avail. What is one to do when we as Americans recognize that there are two systems of justice in this country. The Democrats who are supposed to be in control seems to be stymied by any attempt to get him to testify. If an ordinary citizen were to ignore a subpoena to appear, they would be breaking down the door to make sure that you do. When are the Democrats and Republicans going to do the right thing. Does Mr. Rove have a immunity cloak around him that makes him untouchable? He needs to be held accountable for issues that needs to be addressed that may point to the impeachment of the present administration. Is there anyone out there who might have the solution of this very pressing issue?

Civil Liberties threatened still again

In this year of turmoil, scandal and misinformation, I find it very disheartening that our Congress is still passing laws that compromises our Constitutional rights in the name of homeland security. Since 911 the passage of the Patriot Act there have been a steady stream of laws designed to protect us from terrorism but in my opinion, this atmosphere of fear that has been dumped on Americans is nothing but placing more restrictions against us inside this country. Federal agents now have the power to seize laptops, cell phones, PDAs, cameras, video equipment and any device that can record or transmit information at the border. Why did our representative pass this law in lieu of the fact that Americans are getting suspicious of the governments attempt to keep us off balance as it has been since 911. In 2006, the nation spoke and told our representatives that our government was broken and they needed to fix it. Instead, there have been a steady stream of laws designed to make us less safe and more leery of those who are suppose to represent us. The Bush White House even in its lame duck status is going to impact us with more of his BS laws before their tenure is up.
