Ok, the more I read how people back down to this man, I have to believe this MUST be a part of ‘it is written.’ I cannot imagine anything else.
I have to agree with you. It seems everyone gives up without a fight, regardless of what’s at stake...why??
The subpoena isn't going to be complied with and fighting over whether the President should comply isn't going to help anything at this point.
If no organization that defends the Constitution was going to step up and at least help fight the battle over whether or not the President has to comply it doesn't make sense to fight a whole second legal battle over whether or not a sitting President has to comply with subpoenas. IIRC, several Presidents in the past have won when they didn't comply with a subpoena so what are the odds fighting over it will do anything other than run up legal fees?
The President fights these battles with taxpayer money while the Church doesn't. It's not "backing down" to avoid costly battles over Presidential powers when the issue is the HHS mandate and the First Amendment.
