There should be handcuffs. [View all]
Another morning has begun with a media review of all the Republicans who will be saying "Fuck you!" to the House, the Democratic party and several centuries of legal precedent.
"Subpoena" means---literally---"under penalty". If a subpoena is not quashed but is simply defied, there is supposed to be a penalty. A common way for a court to enforce their subpoena is to issue a "Rule to Show Cause". The person is given a short date and time at which he or she is to appear in court and explain why he or she should not be held in contempt of court. If no good cause is shown, the person may be found in contempt and fined or even held in custody until they comply with the subpoena.
If the person fails to appear when ordered, a warrant for their arrest is usually issued.
Those who fail to appear in response to the House subpoenas and those who refuse to answer questions even after appearing should be arrested---as publicly as possible.
People have begun to question whether our party has the strength to lead. Their concern is that if twerps like Lewandowski can flip us off in public and walk away smirking, how can we be expected to deal with true monsters like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un--- and Trump.
We ignore this concern at our peril.
