The House Judiciary Committee has voted to hold Karl Rove in contempt of Congress after repeated efforts to get him to testify under oath. Now the decision to take the matter to the House floor for vote lies with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She says she won't consider the resolution until September but public pressure is mounting. Is Rove headed to jail?

Update: After the vote, on Fox News, Rove called the vote "ludicrous."

U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled that the President's Chief of Staff, Josh Bolten, and former legal counsel, Harriet Miers, are not immune from congressional subpoenas. Things aren't looking good for Karl Rove.
