(1 post)First Post here is a link. There are tons and tons of opinions about what the Congress can and cannot do to enforce its subpoenas. There is a great analysis done in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review done in the past that should be a must-read for all interested in the pursuit of the truth and holding accountable the current Regime. Let me give you a heads-up on my opinion of what this says: The Congress by the authority of a Writ from the Speaker can commit to prison any one cited for contempt until they remove the source of the contempt. Once in jail, and there is no legal intervention possible at all to prevent jailing, then and only then, can a court challenge be brought for release, such as habeas corpus, while the one committed under the Speaker's Writ remains in prison.

See if you agree with this that a contempt citation and a Speaker's Writ is all Nancy needs to do to bring the subpoena refusers to account.
