BREAKING: Karl Rove subpoenaed

Far from backing down in the face of White House opposition, Senator Pat Leahy (D-VT) just announced on the floor of the Senate that he has issued subpoenas for Karl Rove and another White House aide, J. Scott Jennings.

"For over four months, I have exhausted every avenue seeking the voluntary cooperation of Karl Rove and J. Scott Jennings, but to no avail," the Vermont lawmaker said. "They and the White House have stonewalled every request. Indeed, the White House is choosing to withhold documents and is instructing witnesses who are former officials to refuse to answer questions and provide relevant information and documents."

UPDATE: Read the subpoenas and Leahy's statement here.
