What is it this year with people being subpoenaed by legislative bodies and deciding they are just going to ignore them? That certainly wouldn’t fly very far if it were you, me, or any of the other unimportant little people living in this country. When we get a court order of any kind, we must comply or get into trouble. I don’t especially want to go through the jury duty thing again, for example, and sure, I could blow it off, but it would eventually catch up with me, and then there’d be a rash of hell to deal with. I don’t even want to imagine what sorts of hell would be plopped in my lap if some legal or legislative body subpoenaed me, and I flipped them the bird. I’m sure it wouldn’t be fun at all. Yet over and over this year I read that people being called to testify in front of state or federal governing bodies are doing just that … flipping them the bird.

This time it’s Alaska’s First Dude. He’s been subpoenaed to testify in the investigation into his wife’s possible abuse of powers. But no … he doesn’t want to testify, and so he is refusing to do so.

It’s bullshit. I thought we were a country of law and order, and yet time and time again I see those who have far more power than I doing whatever they hell they want and getting away with it. This pisses me off no end.
