I see.

“Before a Congressional witness may be convicted of contempt, it must be established that the matter under investigation is a subject which Congress has constitutional power to legislate.”

But wasn’t this a matter between The executive branch and the SCOTUS? Wasn’t the president trying to reverse an Obama EO that removed a question that had been on the census for a hundred years or more?

The court didn’t rule the question was unconstitutional. It should have been a slam dunk.

Roberts is the guy who was out of order, not Trump or Barr or anyone else.

Four Democrats broke with their party and voted against the resolution

FOUR? We had four of these Jaybirds who flipped seats in Pennsylvania alone who swore up and down that they wouldn't be Nancy Pelosi's little Lamb and be an independent voice.

As long as voters keep falling for that schtick, they will keep getting it.
