IANAL (also a form of protest) -- it looks like they can start adding civil suits on top of contempt, but they would generally use the DOJ for enforcement. Since the DOJ is the problem, it's unclear how they'd actually file for the civil charges, but the fact that they're probably going to have to likely means it takes some time to start spinning those up. And ... they might be subject to further delay tactics from there. That could be why we aren't hearing about Rudy's crypt having to sell his old goblets and poo poo.

Well the new subpoena is for Sondland's testimony AND documents. So they hadn't issued a subpoena for testimony before today, so that is actually (well, potentially) big if he decides to ignore that. But also, I think this means they're actually issuing a subpoena to SONDLAND for documents and communications, which makes sense since he was apparently doing all this on a private phone.

In theory, it matters a little bit more. We'll see if it actually will or not.

It looks like they did subpoena Pompeo for documents

So unless I am missing something my question still stands, How are these new subpoenas worth anything if they have shown an unwillingness to enforce and already out of date subpoena?

I get that article says they are in 'on going talks' but if this is all back door dealings it seems like you would at least be public about "Pompeo gave us what we need" so others know no one is sliding on the subpoenas.

No but this isn’t a constitutional case. It’s possible that his weird rear end textualism will support the right result. After all, Scalia wrote the opinion holding that Title VII prohibits workplace harassment by members of the same sex, when that was still an open question

theoretically any time (generally mondays) when opinions are handed down, in practicality december or later

last year the Court released 3 opinions for cases argued in October before the new year, and it's final opinion from October in June

Yeah but it's also possible he digs up some definition of the word 'sex' from the 50s that supports the regressive nonsense position.

I have no idea what parts of this are true, but if you're 100% accurate, then there's literally no legal recourse for the subpoenas being followed, and the House literally has no powers to stop it, yay.

This article by Reuters goes into it: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...s-idUSKCN1S81FP

but it doesn't really say anything definitively. The short version is: there are theoretically avenues to pursue, but most of it is Calvinball at this point since the system has already failed.

edit: it's also from May, so this little game of nonsense has been going on for a while now. tl;dr: who knows?
