...think pushing through our post slavery reconstruction period...today, not even the racist now occupying the The Executive Office of the President of the United States would publicly say:
"...This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men,...”,  --Impeached President Andrew Johnson--
...one vote, by Senator Edmund Gibson Ross (R–KS) prevented Johnson's conviction in the Senate...some think the "close vote" reflects Johnson's commitment to stop obstructing and interfering with Reconstruction, a commitment he kept for the rest of his term ( < a year)...

...the district court should dismiss Kupperman et. al's complaint and impose Rule 11 sanctions...if Kupperman et. al want to void a congressional subpoena they can file a motion to quash the subpoena...

...structuring a routine motion to quash as a standoff between the congressional and executive branches of government is unnecessarily abusive...attaching an opinion from the Office of Laughable Legal Counsel and a laughable letter from White House Counsel (Pat Cipollone), which asserts absolute presidential immunity does not lessen the abusiveness (but it may increase it!)...

⚖ -----note-----
"...The scope of the power of inquiry, in short, is as penetrating and far-reaching as the potential power to enact and appropriate under the Constitution.

Broad as it is, the power is not, however, without limitations. Since Congress may only investigate into those areas in which it may potentially legislate or appropriate, it cannot inquire into matters which are within the exclusive province of one of the other branches of the Government. Lacking the judicial power given to the Judiciary, it cannot inquire into matters that are exclusively the concern of the Judiciary. Neither can it supplant the Executive in what exclusively belongs to the Executive. And the Congress, in common with all branches of the Government, must exercise its powers subject to the limitations placed by the Constitution on governmental action, more particularly, in the context of this case, the relevant limitations of the Bill of Rights..." --Barenblatt v. United States, 360 U.S. 109 (1959) @ 111--
