It would be no more appropriate for Congress to subpoena a federal judge (or that judge’s clerks) about the reasoning of one of the judge’s rulings than it would be for Congress to subpoena the president (or his top advisors) about a controversial decision that was within the president’s constitutional authority,

Um, Congress did exactly that to Nixon and GW Bush (re the perfectly Constitutional firing of 8 DOiJ attorneys). And the courts upheld it.

This author is clearly ignorant of the law and history...

A point I made in a comment at NRO, where said comment was evidently not approved because it so concisely showed the author to be a complete dunce.
