Rove and Bush hold Congress in contempt

How could they not consider Congress loathsome?

Karl Rove intends to ignore his latest Congressional subpoena (about which see this, this and the articles linked therein) and will do so while appealing to the authority of President Bush, according to a Newsweek
article.

If only Congress had impeached President Bush as it rightly should have…. If only the members of Congress were committed to the rule of law and to meeting their Constitutional responsibilities…. By delaying the inevitable, by refusing to discipline a sitting President whose actions demanded discipline, they merely put off working through the confrontation that must occur when Congress finds itself forced to bind a rogue executive to the law (Fisher, 1997, 181-182).
