[QUOTE="Haven, post: 140481, member: 5537"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://newrepublic.com/article/198613/trump-epstein-fiasco-democrats-new-weapon[/URL] Critically, though, the statute that Senate Democrats are now invoking, Vladeck says, was originally designed to “ensure that the minority” in Congress “has real access to what executive agencies are doing.” As you may have noticed, this is a particularly urgent need right now: Democratic efforts at oversight have been entirely blocked by the GOP majority, which is devoted to protecting Trump at all costs. Obviously the Justice Department will ignore the demand. But Senate Democrats can then try to take the administration to court. “The Justice Department has to comply,” congressional scholar Norman Ornstein told me. “If they refuse, Senate Democrats need to sue the attorney general and the Justice Department for failure to comply with the law.” “The courts can screw around with this, but it would clearly be saying, ‘We don’t care about the law,’” Ornstein told me. “Every time we can shed light on the unwillingness of John Roberts and the Supreme Court to do anything about Trump’s lawlessness, the better off we are, even if it’s far from ideal.” (y) [/QUOTE]
