Now. I have limited subpoena experience. I thought that when one is issued to you - "JUMP" you have two choices, you can: 1) ask "How High?" or 2) "From What?". Which as it turns out, are correct responses, because according to Wikipedia:

"A subpoena is "a command to appear at a certain time and place to give testimony upon a certain matter."[1] The term is from the Middle English subpoena and the Latin phrase sub poena meaning "under penalty."

"No" is not an option, "I all ready answered this questions" is not an option. because there is a little thing called Contempt of Court, which would be the "penalty" mentioned. But as we have also learned over the past few years she can because: IOIYAR .

IOIYAR - acronym for "It's Okay If You're A Republican," shorthand for discussing hypocrisy.
