Demand Congress Enforce Its Own Subpoenas

The Supreme Court just vacated Steve Bannon's contempt conviction, clearing the way for Trump's DOJ to drop the case entirely. Bannon didn't deny refusing to testify about January 6th — he just claimed his lawyer said he didn't have to. Now he walks free.

If presidential allies can defy congressional subpoenas without consequence, oversight is dead. But Congress has real tools: amend the contempt statute to close the loophole Bannon exploited, strengthen subpoena enforcement so Congress can act without relying on the DOJ, and hold public hearings to put Bannon's obstruction on the record.

Congress wrote the contempt law. Congress can fix it. Demand they act now.
