So did this judge.

On Thursday, a federal judge dealt yet another blow to the Trump circle's efforts to withhold information from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — tossing out a lawsuit by Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich.

Budowich had sued both the committee and the bank JP Morgan, over the latter transferring his banking records to the former.

But Judge James Boasberg knocked him down, using a famous Star Trek quote that is most famously associated with the Borg.

"Plaintiff may resist this conclusion, but as Star Trek's Dr. Spock intoned, 'resistance is futile,'" wrote Boasberg. He noted that Budowich's argument that Congress has no ability to determine what the law is for the purpose of enforcing a subpoena ignores legal precedent.

I loved the half smile (smirk) he had on his face.
