Now both Meadows and McCarthy say they are "challenging the House Select Committee's

subpoenas as unconstitutional".

How?

They "sent a letter".

Not "filed a lawsuit". Not "filed a Motion to Quash Subpoena". Not "requested a Restraining Order".

They "sent a letter".

Is that all it takes to "contest the constitutionality" of a subpoena issued by the US House of Representatives? Or, is this just more Kabuki theater and delay in hope that the midterms will solve their problems?
