Subpoenas are investigative tools. When an administration uses them against political rivals, they become weapons. The judge recognized what was actually happening here: this wasn't about discovering evidence related to immigration enforcement. It was about using the machinery of federal prosecution to target someone in the opposing party. The fact that a judge had to step in and say 'no' shows how close we are to normalizing this as routine practice.
