That rule also states Schiffty can choose to put people under oath or not.

I think Shifty is screwed either way, if he ignores the law it will come back to not only haunt him but possibly indict him as grounds for expulsion (requires 2/3rds vote of congress though) or possible criminal violation of the law. On the other hand, if Schiff allows it he may be called to testify himself as a witness. If he was forced to testify pencil dick cannot help but to lie so he will end up perjuring himself ... again he is screwed either way.

Are you implying that the infallible Jew cannot help but lie and manipulate?

They are surgically, slowly, opening people’s eyes.

If it happens, Schiff will likely interfere with their witnesses' testimonies.

If they refuse this, does it immediately escalate to the SCOTUS?

I'd assume Schitt will ignore this rule, and nothing will happen. I don't think SCOTUS has jurisdiction here, but I'm no lawfag.

21444944? Digits Confirm nothing juicy will habben because of this, except make the dems look worse I suspect. Palindrome and repeating digits though, neat get, but bummer there probably won't be any fireworks over it.

Well if they only get one day, they only have time to grill two witnesses. Make it Schiff and the whistleblower.

The text of the letter doesn't mention anything about limiting it to one day, it just says they're entitled to call witnesses...

the minority members of the committee shall be entitled, upon request to the chair by a majority of them before the completion of the hearing, to call witnesses selected by the minority to testify

Here is the actual text:

(j)(1) Whenever a hearing is conducted by a committee on a measure or matter, the minority members of the committee shall be entitled, upon request to the chair by a majority of them before the completion of the hearing, to call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to that measure or matter during at least one day of hearing thereon.
