I'm old enough to remember Dan Rostenkowski. What's up with these House GOPers who refuse

to honor House subpoenas? This and this alone should be enough to render them unfit for office.

Consequences in these cases, means getting Re-Elected and Re-Elected and Re-Elected and.....

Why would they do the right thing, when the consequences of doing the wrong thing are all good, and nothing bad?

What penalty do they face for ignoring a subpoena?

Nothing.

So why bother?

Until we start to enforce the law and have it apply to everyone then we have an autocracy.
