Want to make sure this article wasn't overlooked over the holiday weekend.  Karl Rove has apparently invoked executive privilege and will not appear at the House Judiciary Committee later this week:

Karl Rove, former White House deputy chief of staff and President Bush's top political adviser, is refusing to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to testify on "politicization" within the Justice Dept. Rove had been scheduled to appear next Thursday, July 10.

Rove's refusal to respond to a Judiciary Committee subpoena drew a stern response from Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Commercial and Administrative Law subcommittee.

"We want to make clear that the subcommittee will convene as scheduled and expects Mr. Rove to appear, and that a refusal to appear in violation of the subpoena could subject Mr. Rove to contempt proceedings, including statutory contempt under federal law and proceedings under the inherent contempt authority of the House of Representatives," Conyers and Sanchez wrote in a letter to Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin.

Luskin, in a letter to the two Democratic lawmakers on Monday, pointed out that the committee is already involved in a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration over the White House's claim of "absolute immunity" from having to respond to subpoenas issued to current or former senior aides once the president has asserted executive privilege.
