Stefanie Quirk @stefquirk.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Love to see it (you're the pro here, this is in no way meant to be snarky) but wouldn't they have to hold them in contempt in order to physically detain them? 100
Stefanie Quirk @stefquirk.bsky.social · 15/09/2026We all see how the non-response plays out with the warnings and such but to go strait to physically detaining a witness over it without declaring them in contempt seems problematic - has congress done this before? 100
Ira 'Bluebeard Homer' Goldman @kdbyproxy.bsky.social · 15/09/20261) Done before? I don't know. 2) Would the witness first have to be held in contempt? That's been the practice. But the question of whether it's required? That could be addressed if/when the witness brings a files a habeas petition with a court. 😳 010
