The most recent Congressional Research Service report on the limits of Congress' power to investigate -- and there are real limits! -- made clear that the exact excuse given by the 1/6 Committee (we need to know!) is exactly what is an invalid ground for investigating Americans. https://t.co/qQO8wu9NJk — PolitiTweet.org

The Court -- both during Congress' McCarthy probes and before -- stressed that while Congress can issue subpoenas to help write new laws or exert oversight over the Executive, compelling private citizens to answer about their political acts is particularly dangerous and dubious. https://t.co/wmZahmaktC — PolitiTweet.org

I'm going to have my article on all this up soon. Writing about long-standing legal precedent is never easy. But to say that Congress' 1/6 Committee is constitutionally dubious -- not just its extreme subpoenas but its very existence -- is an understatement. It's major overreach. — PolitiTweet.org
