😂 we can do it Sep 2019 #9

This is a very unfair comment, I will tell you why Perseus Sep 2019 #44

What does Biden have to do with this? StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #45

I have to assume you read the post I answered to and you read mine completely Perseus Sep 2019 #47

I've read that post and yours. That's why I asked the question StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #54

No, I don't have the obsession, other people seem to, and that is what I am talking about. Perseus Sep 2019 #59

As I said. You have a weird obsession with Biden and Pelosi ... StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #61

As I said, your only argument seems to be the insult Perseus Sep 2019 #63

Yep. cwydro Sep 2019 #71

Yep. Ironic huh? SunSeeker Sep 2019 #76

Huh? mcar Sep 2019 #48

Which part don't you understand and I will try to clarify it for you Perseus Sep 2019 #55

Thank you. Many here, including myself are very frustrated and we feel as if the evil thugs Maraya1969 Sep 2019 #74

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Firestorm49 Sep 2019 #90

Thanks for this Bettie Sep 2019 #92

Ok, so: hold in contempt sharedvalues Sep 2019 #2

Did you read my whole post? StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #4

Also this.... chowder66 Sep 2019 #20

Exactly StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #24

That's a good thread others should read and consider. Pacifist Patriot Sep 2019 #64

She has a blog where she turns her tweets into an article. chowder66 Sep 2019 #67

Yes it is worth it. sharedvalues Sep 2019 #26

The issue isn't so much whether it's worth it to use it StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #28

Someone needs to be made an example of sharedvalues Sep 2019 #30

How many people have been subpoenaed and have not complied? Perseus Sep 2019 #46

The Committee has held people in contempt and has gone to court for enforcement StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #51

If you don't mind, can you list the names of those who have been held in contempt? Perseus Sep 2019 #53

Barr and Ross have been held in contempt StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #58

How about McGhan and Hope? Perseus Sep 2019 #60

Not necessarily Lew azureblue Sep 2019 #56

Punched in the mouth would have been better but gldstwmn Sep 2019 #33

Good post. Yes, Wm Barr would have to prosecute the people's Hortensis Sep 2019 #5

I like that idea, although there might be problems with collection. The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #6

I would think exacting a fine would be the easiest. And court has less power. LiberalFighter Sep 2019 #14

inherent contempt (which would be prosecuted by Congress itself) is different than the criminal PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #10

Thanks StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #11

"...except the ones he was told not to answer under executive privilege..." tableturner Sep 2019 #36

I agree the executive privilege claim is bogus, but once it's invoked, it's not contempt StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #38

Fine...then vote for contempt by the proper party, and get this process going! tableturner Sep 2019 #40

Interesting responses. I never make the mistake of Hortensis Sep 2019 #15

Lawrence was wrong StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #21

So swearing an oath to tell the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth, and then refusing, ancianita Sep 2019 #79

Lying under oath isn't the contempt StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #81

Fair point. Yet, if Pelosi said it was contempt, inherent contempt, action could have been taken. ancianita Sep 2019 #82

I think you're right about Berke but I wonder StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #83

"never been established whether the Sergeant-at-Arms jurisdiction extends beyond Capitol grounds." PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #8

The fact that it may have happened in the past doesn't mean it was valid and StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #12

The fact that something has happened in the past and had been accepted as legally valid... PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #13

It's an argument. That's all. StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #17

Unlike New York City, the power of the federal governent extends to all US states and terrorities. PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #19

The House Sergeant-at- Arms isn't the federal government StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #23

Agree here on Lewandowski BUT just wondering after this thread bluestarone Sep 2019 #16

That would have to be done by a court StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #18

Ultimately the courts. For (85 pages) more on this issue, see... PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #22

WOW so much to read TY BUT bluestarone Sep 2019 #27

Repeated appeals can drag these matters out which is why you tend to see negotiated settlements PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #31

Nadler did the best he could gldstwmn Sep 2019 #25

there is a lot of misinformation JI7 Sep 2019 #29

And, unfortunately, some of this misinformation continues to be spread StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #34

Very well put. You have clarified the frustration of many Democrats Perseus Sep 2019 #52

So it all sounds pretty hopeless ...like there really is no good way to hold witnesses accountable? Amaryllis Sep 2019 #37

I don't think you understand Inherent Contempt peaverok Sep 2019 #41

"cannot be inquired into by a court by a writ of habeus corpus." Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2019 #62

You ignored the first part of that sentence: "the questions whether the person arrested is guilty" StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #65

I've read the whole case multiple times Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2019 #66

Then you should know that the Court didn't rule as you suggested StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #68

I didn't suggest, I quoted the ruling Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2019 #72

We agree on that StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #73

So the the headline should read...... Hotler Sep 2019 #69

Yes indeed. cwydro Sep 2019 #75

It was reported that Pelosi believed Lewandowski should have been arrested YOHABLO Sep 2019 #84

That's not what she was reported as saying StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #85

Okay, she said ''held in contempt'' I said arrested. She did say ''then and there'' YOHABLO Sep 2019 #86

A contempt citation requires a vote StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #87

Nadler could have had Lewandowski arrested for refusing to answer questions. SunSeeker Sep 2019 #89

No, actually, he couldn't have him arrested for refusing to answer questions. StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #91

No actually, we need to stop saying we can't do things. SunSeeker Sep 2019 #94

They don't need Lewandowski to confirm the Mueller Report. StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #95

Now you're channeling the right wing talking point that Dems had no need to call Lewandowski. Oy. SunSeeker Sep 2019 #96

Actually, I'm channeling the law StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #98

Nope, you're stating your usual insults. It's not helping the Democratic cause. SunSeeker Sep 2019 #99
