New Virginia AG Jason Miyares Fires Two Virginia University Lawyers, One of Them Currently Serving as... Head Investigator of the January 6 Committee
Updates:
68 This guy's awesome. Heard him a week or two ago on Glenn Beck's radio show; he's also eliminating and banning any state contracts that involve Blackrock as well as any financial institutions that employ those ESG (Environmental, Social, Governmental) initiatives -- the Marxist West's version of Chinese Social Credit scoring and control ... but mostly control.
Posted by: ShainS -- A faculty lounge, if you can keep it.
This guy's clearing house. Now this isn't as bold as it seems. Apparently the in-house counsel at the state's universities is appointed by the AG, and as the previous ones were appointed by leftwing blackface enthusiast Mark Herring, of course Miyares can, and should, replace them with counsel he prefers. I do like getting rid of this very political operator Tim Heaphy first.
Christopher F. Rufo
@realchrisrufo BREAKING: Glenn Youngkin has opened an anonymous tip line for parents to report schools for teaching critical race theory in violation of his executive order. Email: helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov.
This is the Washington Times, but they're picking up an article from the AP. Still, they should have edited the AP's stupid Media Faction insistence on calling the January 6th incident the "insurrection." The media is all rotten.
Virginia's new Republican attorney general has fired lawyers for two large public universities, his office said, marking more significant changes by Jason Miyares while ascending to his new job. Tim Heaphy, counsel for the University of Virginia, and George Mason University counsel Brian Walther have been let go, Miyares spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita told The Washington Post. School counsel within Virginia's public colleges and universities are appointed by the attorney general. Heaphy, who with UVA also confirmed his removal, worked at the school for about three years. He was on leave from the job to work as the top investigator for the U.S. House of Representatives panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol, the newspaper said.
I don't know what "the philosophy of the university" means. I imagine it has something to do with CRT, free expression, or affirmative action admissions -- some issues where the law suggest the university must not do something, but where the "philosophy of the university" says that they want to anyway, and Heaphy has been just telling them "Then go with your heart!" LaCivita didn't say if Miyares would continue firing all of the Democrat lawyers. One hopes. By the way, Heaphy had previously conducted an "indepedent investigation" of the "Unite the Right" rally, apparently for the City of Charlottesville. Heaphy made this announcement when he signed on to be Adam Schiff's shyster:
LaCivita said Heaphy's firing had nothing to do with that investigative role. Rather, she said in a statement, Heaphy was a "controversial" hire and Miyares' Democratic predecessor, Mark Herring, had "excluded many qualified internal candidates when he brought in this particular university counsel." "Our decision was made after reviewing the legal decisions made over the last couple of years," LaCivita said. "The Attorney General wants the university counsel to return to giving legal advice based on law, and not the philosophy of a university. We plan to look internally first for the next lead counsel."
"Like all Americans, I watched the events of Jan. 6 at the Capitol with surprise and disappointment," he said in a statement. "My role as Chief Investigative Counsel to the Select Committee gives me an opportunity to help find out what led to those events and what we need to do to ensure they do not recur. I thank Attorney General Mark Herring and President Jim Ryan for giving me the opportunity to take a leave of absence from my current role as University Counsel to assume this responsibility. I am fortunate that I can take on this temporary assignment with the assurance of a return to a job and a place that I love."Herring granted the leave of absence but Miyares didn't. So... bye. Speaking of that lawless January 6 investigation, Glenn Greenwald writes:
In its ongoing attempt to investigate and gather information about private U.S. citizens, the Congressional 1/6 Committee is claiming virtually absolute powers that not even the FBI or other law enforcement agencies enjoy. Indeed, lawyers for the committee have been explicitly arguing that nothing proscribes or limits their authority to obtain data regarding whichever citizens they target and, even more radically, that the checks imposed on the FBI (such as the requirement to obtain judicial authorization for secret subpoenas) do not apply to the committee. As we have previously reported and as civil liberties groups have warned, there are serious constitutional doubts about the existence of the committee itself. Under the Constitution and McCarthy-era Supreme Court cases interpreting it, the power to investigate crimes lies with the executive branch, supervised by the judiciary, and not with Congress. Congress does have the power to conduct investigations, but that power is limited to two narrow categories: 1) when doing so is designed to assist in its law-making duties (e.g., directing executives of oil companies to testify when considering new environmental laws) and 2) in order to exert oversight over the executive branch. What Congress is barred from doing, as two McCarthy-era Supreme Court cases ruled, is exactly what the 1/6 committee is now doing: conducting a separate, parallel criminal investigation in order to uncover political crimes committed by private citizens. Such powers are dangerous precisely because Congress's investigative powers are not subject to the same safeguards as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. And just as was true of the 1950s House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) that prompted those Supreme Court rulings, the 1/6 committee is not confining its invasive investigative activities to executive branch officials or even citizens who engaged in violence or other illegality on January 6, but instead is investigating anyone and everyone who exercised their Constitutional rights to express views about and organize protests over their belief that the 2020 presidential election contained fraud. Indeed, the committee's initial targets appear to be taken from the list of those who applied for protest permits in Washington: a perfectly legal, indeed constitutionally protected, act. This abuse of power is not merely abstract. The Congressional 1/6 Committee has been secretly obtaining private information about American citizens en masse: telephone records, email logs, internet and browsing history, and banking transactions. And it has done so without any limitations or safeguards: no judicial oversight, no need for warrants, no legal limitations of any kind.Although I agree with the spirit of Greenwald's rhetoric here, I have to say that he's mostly writing about what he wishes the law were than what it actually is. Congress' power to investigate is nowhere named in the Constitution, but it is thought (or claimed) to exist because it would be needed to carry out two functions that are noted, its power to create laws, and its powers to provide oversight to the executive branch of government. As he says, then, its power to investigate -- assuming it exists in the first place -- must be confined to those two objects. It has no general right to investigate. It is not a Legislative Grand Jury. But, that said, as a practical matter, Congress can frame any abusive investigation by claiming that maybe their probe will turn up information that may assist it in writing a new law. Courts have been very deferential to Congress in these matters. See this link for a general digest. Courts have been particularly deferential to Congress' implied power to investigate in cases of... claims of sedition.
Although Sinclair and McGrain involved inquiries into the activities and dealings of private persons, these activities and dealings were in connection with property belonging to the United States Government, so that it could hardly be said that the inquiries concerned the merely personal or private affairs of any individual. But, where the business, and the conduct of individuals are subject to congressional regulation, there exists the power of inquiry, and in practice the areas of any individual's life immune from inquiry are probably fairly limited. "In the decade following World War II, there appeared a new kind of congressional inquiry unknown in prior periods of American history. Principally this was the result of the various investigations into the threat of subversion of the United States Government, but other subjects of congressional interest also contributed to the changed scene. This new phase of legislative inquiry involved a broad-scale intrusion into the lives and affairs of private citizens." Because Congress clearly has the power to legislate to protect the nation and its citizens from subversion, espionage, and sedition, it also has the power to inquire into the existence of the dangers of domestic or foreign-based subversive activities in many areas of American life, including education, labor and industry, and political activity. ... It is difficult in fact to conceive of areas into which congressional inquiry might not be carried, which is not the same, of course, as saying that the exercise of the power is unlimited. One limitation on the power of inquiry that the cases have discussed concerns the contention that congressional investigations often have no legislative purpose but rather are aimed at achieving results through "exposure" of disapproved persons and activities: "We have no doubt," wrote Chief Justice Warren, "that there is no congressional power to expose for the sake of exposure."That's kind of saying "We assume there's an outer edge to the universe. Somewhere. Maybe."
Although some Justices, always in dissent, have attempted to assert limitations in practice based upon this concept, the majority of Justices have adhered to the traditional precept that courts will not inquire into legislators' motives but will look only to the question of power. "So long as Congress acts in pursuance of its constitutional power, the Judiciary lacks authority to intervene on the basis of the motives which spurred the exercise of that power."Ah, I agree with him that we're using McCarthy-era commie-hunting precedents -- which I bet no leftwinger would claim are still valid in any other context -- to uphold the validity of this kangaroo court, and that sure seems like it should be out-of-bounds, but I don't think it would be found to be such. I also have observed the behavior of judges ruling on the political prisoners of January 6, and they seem, to a man -- including the Republican appointees -- to be acting as the Praetors of the Deep State, ruthlessly meting out cruel and unusual punishments to any possible challengers to the order that signs their checks. They all seem to be showing signs of serious, personal conflict of interest, where the conflict of interest is "I'm afraid that someone is going to disrupt my phony-baloney job, and I'm eager to destroy these people to make sure no one else ever even thinks about protesting near me again." Exit Question: Muh, muh, muh... MUH NORMZZZZ....!

That sounds, I dunno, insurrection-ish, or something. I mean, no emoting and propagandizing and social engineering, just, you know, law? Geez.

I think that's the practical side of it. They do a bunch of shady shit that is likely illegal through their devotion things like sex and race preferences, buying and selling admissions, etc. They likely use their counsel to help provide air cover.
On another front, though, I think that statement is intended to humiliate the school and it probably worked. "The Attorney General wants the university counsel to return to giving legal advice based on law, and not the philosophy of a university" also implies very strongly the statement, "you're a bunch of irresponsible, vague, vain, deceitful morons and now daddy has to hire a babysitter for you."

Good description. Despite that, the Jan 6 committee may not even be harmful to anyone but the ones perpetrating it. That committee has demonstrated just how big a stupid mess the congress is. It certainly isn't earning them any respect. That doesn't make it right.

How in the wide wide world of sports is divining "motivation" ever *any* part of *anything* the judiciary does, when assessing constitutionality or legality of executive actions (it's only legitimate, mostly clerk-level, function)?
It doesn't seem to be the major pathology in the mess the judiciary has become, but it's an opportunistic infection at least (see some idiot district court judge presuming to assess Trump's "motives" when simply exercising routine unquestioned authority on national security and admissions to the country).

That's what's so curious about it.
AG and Gov are elected separately on different tickets, so the AG, a Cuban by birth and apparently the kind of conservative lawyer we dream of and are wary of at the same time, is free to run his office as conservatively as he wants.
What's weird is Youngkin, former CEO of The Carlyle Group, going along with it all. You don't become CEO of that place by being a populist out to wreck decrepit institutions, and yet he's out there causing trouble. It's possible that the GOPe outside of Mitch McConnell has actually learned something from Trump and is, quite possibly, scared of the base for the first time in decades.

I knew a guy who got hired just to fire people. A company was going bust and needed to downsize in an emergency fashion. Hired this lawyer I know, and made him a VP. Sat him in an office and all day long people came in one at a time. He said "have a seat", as soon as their butt hit the chair, "you're fired" Then he gave them a separation agreement to sign. By the afternoon people were just refusing to come into his office. I guess they got escorted out and had to sign for their effects later. He wasn't a real warm personality either.

Whomever the next Republican presidential candidate will be, better be able to prove his bona fides in getting rid of every appointed official and person who serves at the pleasure of the president. Day one. Not "the first 100 days" or a year.
In fact, maybe the people running for Congress should articulate what they are going to do with their oversight power.

If I was a smart Republican congress critter, I would start listing all of the investigations of dirty Democrat shenanigans that I plan to start scrutinizing via J6 style committee after the mid-term elections are completed.
I would definitely point out to all of the banks, phone companies, and internet servers that are currently giving up private data without a valid warrant, that the precedent they are establishing will certainly be applied going forward. Failure to comply will result in jail sentences on contempt charges for recalcitrant CEOs.
Hopefully that will quash Pelosi's current illegal fishing activities, but sometimes you have to pull your little sister's hair to make her understand that it hurts!

Because that's what they are. To some degree, Roberts was right that there are no "Republican Judges" or "Democrat Judges." Once those robes go on, almost of them become State Judges.

Constitution is dead.
Right to privacy is gone. When Congress can get any record they want, with no real reason except... shut up!...
And when you can't even control what is put into your own body? (note, Vax mandate was not cancelled on Right to bodily privacy, but due to the Government not passing the law to make it legal).
When the Government is using a Religious litmus test and deciding IF you are religious enough in a big enough religion to get a covid shot exemption?
Our Rights are no longer rights, they are privileges, at best.

The Jimmy Hoffa method of management. Get rid of everyone that needs to let go asap. Don't drag it out because if you do that, the folks that are left wonder, am I next? And their work will show it.
Of course, that's how they got rid of Jimmy too - so there's that.

I think I would have preferred to be living in the Soviet Union or Eastern Block countries in 1988 than in America in 2022.
At least things were starting to collapse and the countries became more or less free. We are no longer free and heading towards totalitarian one party rule.
I guess we can still buy Levis, so there is that.

What's weird is Youngkin, former CEO of The Carlyle Group, going along with it all. You don't become CEO of that place by being a populist out to wreck decrepit institutions, and yet he's out there causing trouble. It's possible that the GOPe outside of Mitch McConnell has actually learned something from Trump and is, quite possibly, scared of the base for the first time in decades.

I also have observed the behavior of judges ruling on the political prisoners of January 6, and they seem, to a man -- including the Republican appointees -- to be acting as the Praetors of the Deep State, ruthlessly meting out cruel and unusual punishments to any possible challengers to the order that signs their checks.

I like the idea of some sort of security review.
Fire everybody in government, and make them re-apply, and pass a background investigation for continued employment. There is no constitutional right to overthrow the gubbmint and that other shit.

This abuse of power is not merely abstract. The Congressional 1/6 Committee has been secretly obtaining private information about American citizens en masse: telephone records, email logs, internet and browsing history, and banking transactions. And it has done so without any limitations or safeguards: no judicial oversight, no need for warrants, no legal limitations of any kind.
++++
And how are they getting all that information? If I had to guess, they're picking up the phone and calling AT&T and Verizon and Google and the like to get it. And those outfits could - and rightly should - demand a warrant or a subpoena. But as we learned in the Bush 43 and Obama administrations, they never ever do.
All the "safeguards" in the world don't amount to dick if everyone on all sides of the transaction (except the guy being railroaded, of course) and in every stage of the operation ignores them. Not even the liability matters because the State Judge will be sure to help make your lawsuit go away.

A State Department official confirmed that Richard Nephew, known as the architect of sanctions on Tehran, had stepped down as U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Iran after urging a tougher stance on nuclear talks.
At the same time, the Wall Street Journal reported that two other negotiators had stepped aside from their positions because they wanted a harder negotiating position.
Waltz joined their call on Tuesday by urging Biden to return to his predecessor Donald Trump's "policy of maximum pressure" against Tehram's regime.
"It's good to see some officials recognize when diplomacy gets too desperate and begins to really put American national security at risk," the Florida Republican said.

Constitution is dead.
Right to privacy is gone. When Congress can get any record they want, with no real reason except... shut up!...
---
They're violating the law. The laws says that we are protected against *any* "government authority".
Well, what do we mean when we say "Call the authorities"? We mean call the investigative and prosecutorial legal authorities.
The J6 Star Council is acting as an authority. They are simply making the argument that the law was meant to apply to the executive not the legislative. However, previous court rulings said that Congress is only allowed to subpoena where it concerns 1) fact-finding pertaining to legislation, 2) oversight, confined to employees of the executive branch.
There's a reason why it might not apply to legislators though--when they are doing legislation . Criminal investigation is an executive function, as is arrest and indictment.

It's clear that 1) Congress is acting in an executive function 2) they don't want the restrictions we put on those functions when they are engaged by people we expect to conduct those functions, 3) they just claim to be exempt--and they get a colluding judge!
The Founders did not want hybrids of branch functions. The Kapital Kops have already claimed to be exempt from oversight because "they are legislative" employees. Now you have the Congressional Star Councils.
If you let messaging politicians hang around too long, you will lose your government.

An honest court would look at this situation and the facts, then decide this is a grotesque abuse of power by the legislature. There is no basis in law or constitution for the subpoenas they've issued into the records and lives of private citizens. Nor their attempt to compel testimony. The end here is political, not legislative and the proof is what they are doing with both the records and testimony. Their statements and those in league with them in the states would reveal to a simpleton, what their motives are. The courts have willfully disregarded this evidence and we will rue the day, all of us, they gave such tyrannical power to the legislature. Our legislature. The anti-Federalists are proven correct, again.

Look... the physical destruction of our ruling class will happen. Not "if" but "when." The places they're headed make it so. Eventually, people will have enough of being starved, jailed and shot arbitrarily, and simply extirpate them root and branch.
My hope is that it happens soon enough that I'll live to see it. I think forty years from now is a solid timeframe for this all to play out to its denouement, and so it's possible that I'll get to see it.

This guy gets it.
They fought for "liberties" because "Communism is the goal" as one of its founders said. In the same way that Kruschev wanted to "bury" us with "Capitalism", the ACLU wanted to expand the liberties the liberals took with America and contract the liberties of traditionals.
Yes, they stood up for the Nazis, but they did those occasionally so that idea would get in people's heads that they weren't only on one side.
They would defend the KKK and Nazis, but they weren't about to defend the cause of a major voting block that wasn't "progressive".

I assumed Trump kept a lot of people around as an enemies closer thing. Like he was going to be sabotaged either way - he figured it should come from those who can be watched.
That was my theory at the time. I don't think it panned out.
The idea that he was hamstrung by the phony investigations from Day 1 still holds some degree of weight. But it was part of the riddle I never figured out completely.

Pelosi made herself the most powerful Speaker of the House in decades. The lawfare is off the charts.
That committee is going to put together oppo dumps on the Dems political opponents and write up a "Report" that will submit everyone they can to the Biden DOJ as a criminal referral.
So, once the GOP wins the House back in the fall, the lawfare will transfer to the executive branch as the DOJ goes to town prosecuting the Dems' political enemies again. Mueller forever.

Did you realize that far into Trump's term, there were an unprecedented number of offices not filled?
Some of it was the feet-dragging on approvals, no doubt. I think the Republicans are in general stupid enough to have "serious doubts" about what they were hearing about Trump's "Russian connection".
Nothing about the Republican party has ever suggested to me that they were that much brighter--if at all--than Democrats. Occasionally, somebody like Orrin Hatch would impress me with this ability to pierce through the oppositional bullshit.

At first, if Republicans take the Congress in '22, they were planning on disbanding the J6 committee. Now, he intends to use it and actually, you know, investigate J6. He firmly believes the Fed was behind the whole thing and that is where he wants to dig. I guess this is more in line with what Congress is supposed to be doing.

At first, if Republicans take the Congress in '22, they were planning on disbanding the J6 committee. Now, he intends to use it and actually, you know, investigate J6. He firmly believes the Fed was behind the whole thing and that is where he wants to dig. I guess this is more in line with what Congress is supposed to be doing.

Well, the Democrats just won't go along with that!
Up top, Ace in quoting Greenwald, mentioned HUAC. McCarthy was in the Senate, and not part of HUAC.
HUAC was first formed in the 1930's, to look for Nazi - sympathizers in government. The Democrats were all on-board with that; I mean, they got this all started.
After WWII, and especially after 1948 when the Republicans got a majority, they started looking for Reds in the government. And HUAC was looking for Reds in Hollywood. And really, in Hollywood, they were everywhere. In fact, in the 1930's, you HAD to be in the Party if you were in some of the entertainment trade unions.
For more on this, read "Hollywood Party" by Lloyd Billingsley. A really good book on the subject.

Now this isn't as bold as it seems. Apparently the in-house counsel at the state's universities is appointed by the AG, and as the previous ones were appointed by leftwing blackface enthusiast Mark Herring, of course Miyares can, and should, replace them with counsel he prefers.
________
But Herring is a Democrat, Miyares a Republican. That makes it a violation of all known norms for the latter to get rid of the former's hires.
Don't you guys understand how it works?

I don't know why Congress would need investigative powers in order to write laws. I could use the ten God gave us and history as lessons on what laws we need.
As far as oversight of the Executive Branch, should the investigative be limited or directly connected to what actions they can take, like impeaching the President? Their powers certainly shouldn't extend to anything that requires referral t0 law enforcement or a court unless it comes directly from an impeachment or something similar. And the courts should still have oversight.

Judicial appointments.

I could almost buy off on that,
IF the committee was composed soley of the Representatives appointed to it and were absolutely forbidden assistance of any kind - no secretaries, IT support, legal council, nothing, not even a postage stamp.
And to revise a bit - no IT either, they can build their own internet and PCs if they need that to support their investigation.

Trump wanted to do stuff with broad support first - mainly fixing the Obama-economy. And he succeeded.
But then when he turned to the harder stuff he had waited too long.
Presuming we get a free and fair election and a President DeSantis in 2024 I want him firing people and arresting Fauci on day 1 even if the economy sucks. There will be plenty of time to fix regulations and make better trade deals after you've dealt with the enemy within.

AG is also a UBER-powerful post in VA. He can pretty much stop cold most of what a Gov wants to do, ala the ways Dem judges seem to do. That's why it was SO important to knock our Herring. They were hoping the incumbent D AG would hold and make the R Gov powerless.

And *that* was mainly the part that was involved in the Hollywood investigations.
"McCarthyism" is the same whitewash "The Big Switch" is.
It's the reason they call him "Reverend Jim Jones" so you don't know the guy was a Marxist atheist who rented out his cult (90% African American) for Democratic demonstrations.
They tried to pass off the Kennedy assassination as "conservative hatred" in Dallas. Nazi Pelosi even tried to say that the Tea Party reminded her of "Dallis in 1963", forgetting that it had been long been established that a commie-wannabe-defector offed JFK. And it had nothing to do with general politics in Dallas, however hostile they were to JFK.

It looks like the Karenwaffen faction of the Biden junta isn't going to let it go though, which is the worst possible outcome for the junta.
Claiming you beat COVID and everyone can go back to living like normal would be a big win for the junta instead you'll see more and more states going back to normal which the fedgov and blue shitholes stay in lockdown forever.

But seriously, though, if this guy doesn't at least try to clean up voting in Richmond and Arlington, you might as well just write his political obituary now. He'll go nowhere else.
Take a page from DeSantis' playbook, people, and clean up voting in your problem areas. If he could do it in Broward County, then Miyares can do it in the city of Richmond.

Guys don't make passes
At girls who wear glasses.
Over the years I've been amazed at what women have told me guys want in women because...it is always odd and wrong. "Some guys only like blondes/brunettes/whatever right?"
Um. No. I couldn't imagine having a good conversation with an attractive woman and saying "Damn if only she didn't wear glasses/dyed her hair but alas!"

Fraudulent voting isn't the issue; VA is a blue state. The next governor will be a Democrat because of that. Youngkin was adept at capitalizing on Brandon's gah. Even if Youngkin wasn't term-limited, he'd be *very* hard-pressed to succeed himself given the tsunami of immigrant voters in NW/WNW Virginia.

If Eyepatch Republicans aren't your ally, they're your enemy and you might as well drag them down with you. When the heat falls on them and their reputations, then the issue becomes serious.

I noticed Motley Fool, who generally has good information on growth stocks started adding that goofy ass ESG metric to their stock ratings and info.
Which is totally useless as anything but an indicator of negative investor activity, the more money a corp wastes on lame-ass ESG Prancing About,
the less return their investors get on their investment.
ESG and it's backers all need to DIAF.

One of my theories is that they concentrate so much on words and messaging them that they have substituted words for reality. Definitely, if you look at the vanguard of the left, they are influenced by poststructuralists and postmoderns. Essentially, they believe that words cannot describe the real world--but in the end they make a case that since the cause of representing the real world is futile, and since language merely structures power, they will use words in whatever way allocates more power to them.
And so they begin to fully dissociate words from the real world.

It's really incredible that seeing Joe revert to his nasty self and being caught at it, the left still cannot help but defend "their guy".

interviewed with Carlyle Group and got an offer. But after thinking about it long and hard I decided I didn't want to live in DC. I would have been working for him indirectly (through a few layers of management)

We represented them for a while - always good for some litigation.

I noticed Motley Fool, who generally has good information on growth stocks started adding that goofy ass ESG metric to their stock ratings and info.
Which is totally useless as anything but an indicator of negative investor activity, the more money a corp wastes on lame-ass ESG Prancing About,
the less return their investors get on their investment.

And that's not useful knowledge for an astute investor?

That's part of my point, do we believe McCarthy will even give us payback rather than using the opportunity to try to bury Trump/Desantis?
McCarthy? No. Gaetz? Maybe. But we won't get Gaetz because the majority of the party will continue to play by the old rules thinking that some day it will be their turn. So we will get neither better nor payback.

Well, that's how I'm using it.
However, there are several of their main guys who are unironically pushing ESG as a good...NO! A GREAT THING!!!111!!
As a big negative, when those guys talk, you're often as likely as not to get a random mini lecture about how important global wormening or some such thing.

Actually, the elections in Virginia are pretty clean. Not perfect. It is lower on the checklist in Virginia than it would be in a bunch of other states - starting with Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania

Actually congress is severely limited. In Anglophone law, the legislature can't act as a star chamber. In fact if I were one of the defendant's lawyers, I'd dust off the law abolishing the star chamber and cite it as the ur law limiting legislative investigatory overreach. Then bring up all the abusive British laws that provoked the American revolution and cite those too.
See not so hard.
