Does anyone know how that works? How come we don't see this kind of hearing anymore? Can the mobsters refuse to show up since it's not like a court summon?

Right on the money, SC. Plus, the subcommittees don't get much from mobsters who "take the Fifth" after each question. I'm no lawyer but I suspect if you were subpoenaed to appear before Congress you'd better go. [/QUOTE] Yes, if you're subpoenaed. Congressional committees and subcommittees don't have standing power to issue subpoenas--the full Congress must pass a bill specifically authorizing a committee or subcommittee to issue subpoenas.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
