1. Could it be that the Republicans think they don't have to respect the committee

Because a Black man is the chairman and a woman is the vice-chair. They feel like they are a superior class and don’t have to comply. And they feel like nobody will care enough to enforce anything Women and Black people are less than citizens to them

2. Good point. The goal of their voter suppression efforts are to reduce the numbers voting in both groups

3. the clock is running

a republican speaker, a distinct possibility un 2023, will pull the plug on this committee and all of its subpoenas.

We know that the greater the turnout, more Democrats win.
