[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, for the people (person?) suggesting the Senate shouldn't subpoena Bolton because the house should've gone through the courts -- are you aware of what the Administration's argument has been in these cases (e.g., Don McGahn's)? DOJ has argued that an issue between Congress and the Executive is NOT FOR THE COURTS. But now you and they are saying this should've gone through the courts?? [/quote]

Yes, because it is up for the courts to decide if they have the power of judicial review in this instance. Trump can claim whatever they want.

Look Obama played this game too, with Eric Holder ignoring Congressional subpoena, being held in contempt of Congress. That court case didn't finish until Obama left office, with the courts deciding on favor of Congress. There was no doubt that Congress had the power to subpoena, but [b]we live in a country of laws and process[/b]. Republicans didn't try to impeach Obama for obstruction of Congress because the procedural struggles between the legislative and executive branches is a stupid reason to impeach a president for.[/quote]
Well this is rich.[/quote]

Your sarcastic contempt for facts is duly noted.[/quote]
In light of a sitting president with a near complete disregard for norms, procedures, policies, and the rule of law since even before he took office, your statement is an exercise in false equivalency, and in my opinion, rich.[/quote]
