No you don't.
The power of the House to subpoena is rooted in authority granted by a House vote... a vote that Schiff didn't have before issuing his subpoenas.
The constitution sets out three coequal branches of Government and a series of checks and balances to ensure that no one branch has primacy over the other. Schiff's foolish "Obstruction of Congress" gambit presumes that the House has superior authority to the other two branches.
The whole foundation of the Democrats argument is patently unconstitutional.
Wrong. The constitution says the house makes its own rules regarding impeachment. Trump is the first president in history to unilaterally refuse to comply with a lawful impeachment inquiry.
And this, my firends, is the regime cleavage I mentioned earlier. No defense of what was done; so instead, draw into question and diminish the mechanisms of our government itself.
This is why the rift will not be solved.
