1. why would she allow one against Bolten and Miers
and not against Rove?

2. That's my take..... Now if it would have been Inherent Contempt then
it would never get a vote.

5. did you post that she didn't allow that vote?
if so, it might be because it was generally ignored on DU, and people here even asserted later that Pelosi has never allowed any contempt charges against anyone.

It's all part of the propaganda campaign against Pelosi.

6. No. I posted that those charges were made in the Senate.
And, I still don't believe she'll allow a vote on Rove. I think she'll make some "election year politics" argument for not doing it.

7. why wouldn't she?
she allowed the other votes, why not this one? What's the reasoning?

8. It's Karl Rove. His testimony could very well implicate Bush...
whose impeachment she took off the table. She'll pretend to be in favor of it, all the while making excuses to delay the vote.

9. so could Miers and Bolten's testimony
but Pelosi allowed the contempt charge. Your explanation does not make sense.

You appear to have only now learned about Pelosi's allowing the contempt charges against Miers and Bolten. Does that new information affect your thinking on whether she'll allow one against Rove?
