Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) announced the subpoenas on the Senate floor.The question for Rove and Jennings, of course, is whether to take the same course taken by Rove's former aide, Sara Taylor, who appeared before the committee to answer questions that were not covered by executive privilege -- or to take the approach taken by Harriet Miers, who refused to show up at all.
