No One Is Above the Law

So says Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.  In her ruling today, she cleared the way for former White House Counsel Don McGahn to testify to the Intelligence Committee in the House as part of their impeachment inquiry.

Jackson certainly didn't do a rush job; her ruling was 118 pages.  In it, she stated  no one is above the law, and  added However busy or essential a presidential aide might be, and whatever their proximity to sensitive domestic and national-security projects, the President does not have the power to excuse him or her from taking an action that the law requires.

And it gets better.  The ruling could encourage other witnesses, like former national security adviser John Bolton, to come in from the cold, so to speak, and to testify in response to House subpoenas.
