Nope. When people get to decide when they will and will not obey a court order (that’s what a subpoena is) then it’s game over. We have ceased to be a country governed by the rule of law. If he does this then he absolutely should be held in criminal contempt of court.
...unless the court order itself is (or should be) a violation of the rule of law.
This certainly is.
Oh plueeeeezzz...
33,000 emails under Congressional subpoena, not one indictment for obstruction of justice.

Where have you been? Holder, Lerner, Lynch, Comey... do as they please. Why don’t you join DA and cheerlead for them over there? It’s time our side stood up to these tactics.
Eric Holder was held In Contempt of Congress and nothing happen to him. We are in a Civil War you don’t play nice to thugs.

With the blatant disregard of enforcing voter laws (Obama Justice would not prosecute) Immigration laws (sanctuary cities) and an entire spectrum of malfeasance with this Hillary Clinton Email Server issue, one can make the argument that we have already traveled far, FAR beyond the point where there is respect for the rule of law, particularly at upper levels in government.
Good afternoon.
“We have ceased to be a country governed by the rule of law.”
You are of course correct, but a little late. The rule of law ended January 20, 2009.
Look around you now and tell me if I’m wrong.

Well, it's been game over for some time now. The only ones who think it's still a game with actual rules are the Republicans. Trump was elected because he stood up and said 'no more'. Good to see somebody else with the wherewithal to stand up and say 'no more' as well.
If he is willing to sit in jail for a while after publicly making his case, then one could possibly conclude that his protest has more honor in it than anything the left has done in years.
I agree.
However, if he wants to take the 5th on every question, that's okay.
And if he wants to refuse to answer questions about events that occurred after the election. That's okay too.
Democrats do this all the time.
Show up, give the 5th, walk away.
The only difference is he doesn’t want to waste his time showing up.
The “rule of law” principle, as sacred as it is to our great republic, is only as pure and just as the laws and lawmakers who govern by them.
In case you were comatose for the past several years, we already ARE a country not governed by “rule of law”.
Nunberg could simply have a lawyer send a letter saying his client intends to plead the 5th on anything and everything that U1 criminal suspect Robert Mueller would ask and that his client expresses no guilt whatsoever in exercising his 5th Amendment right to remain silent especially in the wake of General Flynn’s entrapment.
And before releasing the above letter, his attorney should call a special press conference for all media to hear a ‘Trump Advisor’s’ very important statement concerning what his client has to say which is: “FU Liars in the Media, my client says you and that P*ssy Mueller ain’t gettin’ Jack Sh*t, or if that’s too crass for your tender ears, it means he has a 5th Amendment right to tell you to shove it up your *ss. Any questions?”
You mean like Eric Holder who openly defied the courts? Not to mention all the other Ovomit scumbags who didn't respond to subpoenas.
It's time for blow back. Screw these assholes.
Why should any of us have respect for law & order when an entire group of people (illegals) get to flaunt the law in our faces?
We stopped being country ruled by the rule of law long time ago...
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ....
....deep breath ....

You need to start paying attention.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republican "leaders" are BALL-LESS!!
Nope. Meuller investigation is BS.
There are certainly times when courts should be ignored. James 1st’s Star Chamber was a court created by the king w/o parliamentary consent. It was an administrative court that was continued by his son Charles who was executed in English civil war.
Likewise, one could argue that the premise for the Meuller investigation is a bogus deep state creation that has exceeded its original mandate. The number two Weinstein has a history of prosecutorial abuse in not revealing exculpatory evidence in previous cases. Can’t you see this creep indicting innocent Trump associates and forcing them to sign plea deals if the give fake testimony against Trump?
As an aside, administrative courts don’t respect the BOR, so it’s legimate for citizens to resist their usurpations.
