The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Congressional subpoenas are an entirely different ball of wax, because (unlike a civil court judge) Congress doesn't have direct enforcement powers. Moreover, unlike Congressional subpoenas of private individuals, Congressional subpoenas of federal government officials are inextricably linked to separation of powers issues, and are thus never going to result in either a quick judicial resolution or criminal sanctions. - albaby

You would think the bureaucrats and politicians would care about the corrosive effect on our country. But they don't and some almost revel in flaunting their being special. Christoper Wray could explain, I will not turn over that document and here is why, versus lying about it's very existence.
