This reminds me of how Bill Clinton had the presidential motorcade put “DC Taxation Without Representation” license plates on their vehicles after Bush won, for the sole purpose of being able to say forever that Bush had them removed.Report
so you are equating a subpoena to a former President who incited an insurrection because he didn’t want to be seen as a looser to license plates with a political message being changed by a two term President who wasn’t up for reelection?
Wow.Report
What’s with all the “wow” and “I will point people to this comment” stuff lately? There’s a self-assurance in the quality of one’s argument that might not be warranted so often.
A subpoena for a president to appear before Congress carries as much weight as a custom license plate, sure. But the main thing I was comparing was the gesture being done on the way out the door for the purpose of complaining that the replacements didn’t follow through on it.Report
