A federal appeals court, which has appropriate jurisdiction over the U.S. Congress when it resorts to judicial enforcement of its subpoenas, has specifically reversed a lower federal court ruling that had ordered the Republican National Committee to comply with a subpoena issued by the House's January 6th Committee
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals admonished the Democrat-led investigation for vacillating on key issues related to the subpoena in question --- and --- that the Court had been prevented from reaching the "important and unsettled constitutional questions" about whether the January 6th Committee had been lawfully constituted, because the House Committee had withdrawn its subpoena during the pendancy of the appeal
Court decsision dismissing case involving House January 6th Committee subpoena to GOP National Committee said ---
".... Because the Committee caused the mootness and thereby deprived us of the ability to review the district court’s decision, and given the important and unsettled constitutional questions that the appeal would have presented, we vacate the district court's judgment.... The Committee has taken various positions on whether and when it needs the subpoenaed RNC documents [citing a history of urgent requests followed by delay and then eventually withdrawal of the subpoena]...."
