My good friend from Maryland was talking about some case law. I will talk case law all day. Here are three real fast: Quinn v. United States. The Supreme Court said that Congress cannot issue a subpoena for law enforcement purpose. Watkins v. United States. Congress has no authority to issue a subpoena to compel exposure for the sake of exposure. McGrain v. Daugherty. Congress may not issue a subpoena in an attempt to try someone before a committee for any crime of wrongdoing. I have ample case law up here that will show, at the very best, for my friends across the aisle that case law is unsettled, but it is very likely on the side of Mr. Scavino and Mr. Navarro. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Herrell) for the purpose of a unanimous consent request.
