HOUSE GOP, HERITAGE FOUNDATION LINING UP 2023 PROBES: After how the Obama crowd laughed at House Republican subpoenas and other traditional enforcement tactics (such as holding then-AG Holder in contempt of Congress) for eight years, Right and independent voters are understandably skeptical when they hear familiar promises of aggressive oversight of Biden come 2023.

But getting a look at the preparations that have been underway for several months, hearing details of lessons learned from the Obama era failures, and examining declarations of willingness to get tough in ways that were unseen last time, taken together suggests that House GOP leadership should get a carefully measured benefit of the doubt.

If they fail again as before, it really won’t matter because, as Ronald Reagan so eloquently said so often, once constitutional liberty is lost, it is all but impossible to regain. Pray the current generation of House Republicans understand that fact. Some of us have been warning them for a long time.
