I hate to sound cynical about biden, who I'm sure is being sincere, but does anybody remember supeaona (sp?) power ?

Nice idea, but doesn't work in practice ? and all those headlines about partizan revenge when they'll need all the good vibes just to fix the major things Bush broke. And no, I don't believe they really intend to fix the legislature or the Constitution

It's a ligature, hence œ

Ligatures are, of course, optional - even archaic - and I'm being a snob by using one.

The failure of subpoena you refer to was a failure by the Legislature to subpoena members of the executive.

Biden is talking about the new executive prosecuting the old.

The problem there is not subpoena, but presidential pardon (see Clinton).
