The House of Representatives is the authority..Do you refuse to go through the metal detectors at a courthouse?

We do not need metal detectors; we need "mental" detectors.

 

[playtime]

there has been metal detectors in the capital for years - no one is allowed to come in from the outside without going thru them.

i believe the 'new' detectors are placed at the house chambers.

that being clarified ... this might also clear it up:

Actually, they should be conducting House of Rep sessions virtually, with the members staying in their districts. Little reason for congress people to travel to Washington DC.

But if they are serious about security, congress people should be subject to body cavity searches. If a member is smuggling plastic explosives into the House Chamber, the people have a right to know.

This would fix a lot of problems, which is why they won't get it

It probably had something to do with Lauren Boebert who wants to carry in Congress. She was involved in a "standoff" with the guards there when she went through the metal detectors they sat up at the capitol building the other day.

Virtual congressional meetings would pose difficulties for lobbyists looking to impress Congress people. Further, it would keep congresspeople away from the swamp if they can stay in Duluth or Abilene or Butler, PA or Youngstown and do their jobs. I don't see a downside.

It would make their meetings open to the public instead of allowing them to make back room deals in private that end up screwing everyone.

The negative the Deep State sees is that making the congressmen stay in their districts would make it easier for the constituents to see the representative and give them their opinions on the issues.

Lastly, it would be bad for the Washington DC real estate market. Congress would stay at home, not need a DC residence

Oh, I agree. I don't see many negatives for the people should they all stay in their districts and states. I hate the fact that so many idealistic first timers get elected on the promise that they're not going to be <fill in the blank>'s lap dog, only to get to Washington and in a few months are voting the party line faithfully. I firmly believe that there are many meetings held with these freshmen where the old-timers let them in on the way things work and they learn how to get along. I really believe there is little reason that they would actually need to physically be present in one place, one exception being to view and discuss classified info. Like business is discovering, it is quite possible to get things done remotely.

Imagine it's your first day on the job with the Capital Police and you gotta strip search Pelosi!
"Hey Rookie, we got a job for you.....".

The environment around D.C. is not the same as the real world. They are immersed in the Swamp news and culture and not connected with their own districts. Going virtual and actually working in their districts would solve a lot of problems

She’s the Speaker of the House, dumbfuck.

To answer your question, 'No'; however, the House is a member of the Legislative Branch. Nancy Pelosi is not THE House. She is the Speaker of the House. By what Law, Regulation, etc...is the Speaker of the House authorized to dole out Fines?

My question is not to be partisan but a legitimate question about the Speaker of the House's - Not Pelosi's - authority to do this.

So? She Controls the House members and what happens on the floor / in House Chambers. Last I checked the Speaker of the House is not in charge of Capitol security.

Thank you for that irrelevant emotional rant, but it does not answer my question.
