Contumacy:
- obstinate and wilful rebelliousness or resistance to authority; insubordination; disobedience
- the wilful refusal of a person to appear before a court or to comply with a court order [Collins Dictionary]
This seemed familiar, but I can’t find it on the blog, so I guess not. Noted in “Peter Navarro inches closer to Supreme Court in his Jan. 6 subpoena contempt appeal,” Jordan Rubin, MS NOW:
“Because President Trump did not, in fact, invoke executive privilege, neither the Select Committee’s subpoena nor the prosecution for Dr. Navarro’s contumacy in the face of that subpoena presents the separation-of-powers concerns of which Dr. Navarro complains,” the panel said last month in rejecting his appeal.
Too bad, kid. Best to wear your conviction with faux-pride.
