It has been 5 days plus 6 days since Rove was given 5 days to respond

On Thursday, July 10, Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers issued a 'stern' warning to Karl Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin: "This letter is to formally notify you that we must insist on compliance with the subpoena and urge you to reconsider your position... . Please let us know no later than Tuesday July, 15 if Mr. Rove will comply with the subpoena, or we will proceed to consider all other appropriate recourse."

The last I'm aware of that anyone has seen Karl, he was in Virginia Beach, Virginia on Friday, July 18 for a fundraiser and did not seem in imminent danger of any recourse, unless he requested seconds on the lobster.

Rove had attempted to defend his failure to respond to the subpoena by claiming that he's offered lawmakers "other ways to question him" about allegations of political pressure at the Justice Department. If you or I tried to email a traffic court judge that we wouldn't be appearing in court to answer a reckless driving charge because we had chosen to exercise our 5th Amendment rights, Sheriff's deputies would be knocking on the front door shortly after we hit the 'Enter' key to send the message.

How many more stern letters or unmet deadlines will this criminal be given before something resembling justice is served, Mr. Conyers?
