Expedited Subpoenas?

[kentuck]

Should the Committee begin to call witnesses immediately? If they refuse, then send out the subpoenas.

If they refuse the subpoenas, take them immediately to Court.

Get the process started and over with as quick as possible.

Request for the Courts to expedite their decisions, due to the constitutional necessity of Congressional power.

Get the rascals under oath.

Hold them accountable.

1. Absolutely yes,

win the first court case which will set a precedent for those to follow. Put the SOB's under oath where lying has consequences.

2. No, why?

As with criminal indictments, we don't do things "immediately", simply because the blogosphere "knows" who's responsible.

3. These are not common times...

...and these are not common criminals.

These are exceptional times.

4. All the more reason to do the job correctly the first time.

6. Why are you afraid they won't do it right the "first time"?

Do we want to wait for a second time?

Just do it!

9. Subpoenas will be coming soon and very soon so that men and women

can start sweating during the break

5. Can they do these actions while on recess?

After Labor Day I believe it will be full steam away. I’m not sure what rules are for recess.

7. I heard their Chairman say they may return before the August recess is over.

I suspect they will be asking for witnesses? Subpoenas will probably be needed.

8. The committee chair confirmed they will not start with calls and letters

but will go straight to subpoenas and if they refuse, to court they go. I just hope they can get the justice system to work quite a bit faster. Somehow they have to move it along quickly.
