Conservatives keep wanting a "limiting principle" to the House subpoena power. Dems don't really have one. This is making people think that Dems are losing.

Understand this is only relevant if you except the conservative frame of this case.
THERE IS NO LIMITING PRINCIPLE TO A HOUSE SUBPOENA. THERE NEVER HAS BEEN.

What the Court wants to do is INVENT one, RIGHT NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY, solely to defend Donald Trump from investigation INTO HIS CRIMES
DO NOT ACCEPT THE REPUBLICAN FRAME ON THIS BULLCRAP
Like this Kavanaugh crap right now. He's asking if medical records would be open to being subpoenaed under this "limitless" power.

Of course they would be.

LUCKILY THE PRESIDENT COULD ASSERT PRIVILEGE OVER THOSE RECORDS, thus avoid Kavanaugh's scary world.
Please remember, the President has NOT asserted executive privilege over this information.
