Knoblauch and Congress
I wish I were Chuck Knoblauch. No, not because of his cash. I’d love to be Chuck so I could tell Congress where they could stick their “subpoena.”
Then again, I might show up and lecture the Democrats on the Congressional committee that somehow thinks that since they are vaunted members of Congress, that they can literally force any citizen of the United States to show up and tell them anything they want to hear. Those Democrats, and every one who voted for that subpoena are miserable, selfish, self-centered slimeballs.
Sorry, that’s the way it is.
Chuck Knoblauch does NOT work for Congress. He doesn’t even work for the Major League Baseball monopoly that Congress allows. So Congress, under a Constitutional government, has ZERO power over Mr. Knoblauch. Instead, the Congress, under a Constitutional government, has the power to MAKE laws. That’s it. They’re not supposed to enforce ANY laws. Now they can ask anyone they want to show up and talk to them. But they’re way beyond any Constitutional authority when they DEMAND that someone show up. I really hope Chuck shows up and just tells them off. I know I would.
You see, some might claim they’re “investigating” steroids. First, no laws were broken. No one’s even claiming that any laws were broken. Next, if laws WERE broken, it would be up to the EXECUTIVE branch to enforce laws, not the slimeballs in the Congress. This is one of the primary thinks that’s wrong with Congress, and why lawyers shouldn’t be allowed in Congress — they all think they’re better and more important than everyone else. They think people should answer to them — and it should be the other way around.
Oh, how I yearn for freedom and a Constitutional government.

I think Howard Hughes was the last citizen who put Congress in their place at a Congressional Inquisition, oh I mean “Hearing”. You know, many times I have seen “hearings” on C-Span and thought to myself, “why do we have courts and judges” if these guys are going to take it upon themselves to do the Judiciary’s job???? Good and thoughtful post Ogre.
I really wish Knoblauch would run with this. How neat would it be to see him totally refuse to show up — and then only when literally dragged there by police? And then refuse to talk to them for awhile; and then he could just start lecturing them on the Constitution.
Maybe that’s why they don’t ever “call” me to testify.
