..."The Jan. 6 committee's subpoenas have regularly made headlines, and the D.C. District Court heard a case similar to Ward's earlier this year. The Republican National Committee sued Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Jan. 6 Committee, and others to block a subpoena served to Salesforce, a software and marketing company, for information about how the Trump campaign and the RNC may have used Salesforce tools to spread misinformation about the 2020 election. While the district court agreed there was a "cognizable" First Amendment claim, it also said that in light of the innocuousness of the type of data to be revealed, and the overriding government interest in investigating the events of Jan. 6, the subpoena was legitimate. The RNC appealed the decision, but the case became moot when the Jan. 6 Committee withdrew the subpoena, saying it "no longer ha[d] a need" for the specific information the subpoena would have produced.
Following Monday's order, T-Mobile will be required to produce Ward's phone data to the Jan. 6 Committee.
The Supreme Court's order was considered by the full court, after it was referred to them by Justice Elena Kagan, who is responsible for emergency applications from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals."

Thomas & Alito are the epitome of an "activist" court geared more t politics than law

Notice that President Biden doesn't keep a guest record at his house. Just like Hillary having her private server he's trying to hide stuff.
