	House panel subpoenas Rove - CNN.com
		The committee ordered Rove to appear July 10 to testify on claims that he was a key player in pressing the Justice Department to dismiss some U.S. attorneys and to prosecute Democrats.
		"While the committee has the authority to issue a subpoena, it is hard to see what this will accomplish, apart from a 'Groundhog Day' replay of the same issues that are already the subject of litigation," the lawyer wrote, referring to a movie in which a person lives the same day over and over again.
		In a letter of response written Thursday, Conyers said the two committees are focusing on different matters, with the House committee delving into the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, a Democrat.

	House panel votes for Net neutrality - CNET News.com
		By a 20-13 vote Thursday that partially followed party lines, the House Judiciary Committee approved a bill that would require broadband providers to abide by strict Net neutrality principles, meaning that their networks must be operated in a "nondiscriminatory" manner.
		They said they were worried that a competing proposal already approved by a different committee last month would diminish their own influence in the future.
		Because the FCC is overseen by Barton's committee, that proposal would effectively cut off Judiciary Committee members from being able to hold hearings on Net neutrality antitrust violations, give speeches about corporate malfeasance and solicit campaign cash from affected companies--the lifeblood of modern Washington politics.
