1. Alabama Lawsuit Might Shine Light on
Abramoff, Siegelman Cases
by Roger Shuler of Legal Schnauzer
....[to Bob Riley, Governor of Alabama] "It puzzles me as to why you
did not report (this in-kind contribution), and I am very much
concerned that it could be related to your handling of the Indian
casino money that has been recently described in the news media,"
Goff said. "I have read that the two people you dealt with were a Mr.
Abramoff and a Mr. Scanlon (your former congressional aide) who
were indicted and plead guilty to illegal funneling of these Indian
gambling-related monies to various political cronies. The article
clearly describes that you were the recipient of millions of dollars of
this money and through your use of my airplane in your campaign; I
need assurance that you did not use my plane to pick up these
monies on the two above described trips to Washington, D.C.

MSG 4 NANCY: CONTEMPT 4 ROVE
Interview by Peter B. Collins on Green 960
...Gov. Siegelman is Rove-kill, Exhibit A. He is a witness to a hatchet
job that sent him from Alabama’s governor’s mansion to a federal
prison on phony, political charges, and he fingers Karl Rove as a
central figure in the caper. The story is recapped in this audio clip.

Holding Mr. Rove in Contempt
Opinion by Don Siegelman for the NYT
...The House needs to start pushing just as hard on Mr. Rove. The
important step is for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to schedule a vote
on holding him in contempt in the next two weeks. The House is eager
to adjourn — the members want to get back to their districts so they
can campaign for re-election. But it would be a mistake to leave
without taking this vote.
There are many vital principles at stake, but none is more important
than the power of Congress itself. In this era of expanding presidential
authority, Congress is a critical check on executive branch abuses. It
cannot perform this function if it allows members of the executive
branch to flout its subpoenas and its oversight.
