The subpoenas passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday are defective for a host of reasons, including the fact that Congress has no constitutional authority to pass binding ethics legislation on the judicial branch, that the committee lacked a quorum, and that Democrats need 60 votes on the Senate floor to give the subpoenas force of law. The subpoenas are functionally dead. But they served their purpose, which was to create headlines in the Democrats' lickspittle media, designed to undermine the legitimacy of the court further.
This short-term partisan thinking is hurting our democracy in the long term.
We're a Republic.
Not a Democracy.
