Legally, yes, I do think John Conyers has the right to subpoena Karl Rove since a judge ruled last year that White House aids are not protected by executive privilege to appear at a House Judiciary Committee hearing, even if the aids refused to answer
questions.
According to the Wall Street Journal, "There is some dispute in legal circles over whether a president's
executive privilege claim continues to be in force after he leaves
office if his successor doesn't enforce it." (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123302729589718597.html?mod=googlenews_wsj)

Yeah, if the previous administration, and Mr. Rove in particular, hadn't so blatently disregarded the concept that they should be accountable for their actions and should be prepared to explain their actions to the American people, I would think it a little strange that as soon as Obama took office Rove was being subpoenaed. But it just seems so obvious that Rove and Cheney suppressed anything and everything that might have impeded their agenda from getting out that it's high time we get some answers...
