Are you saying this body elected by the American people is no longer legal; that its word does not have to be obeyed?

I'm saying that anyone who understands the topic understands that when a subpoena is issued for someone who believes they are subject to an exception for privilege that the way you challenge it is to not show up.

There is nothing "illegal" about it.

The subpeona was issued by Congress. Are you saying this body elected by the American people is no longer legal; that its word does not have to be obeyed? Because, dude, that's treason!

A difference of opinion is never treason. Besides you would have to show intent to harm the country in any event.

Where in the constitution does it say that Congress can subpoena former aids to get the goods on the President? I think the SCOTUS has prior ruling that says that they cannot do this if the President claims Executive Privilege. No that's not in the constitution, but a new law passed by SCOTUS.
