BREAKING: Rep. Steve Stockman: Sgt. At Arms to Arrest Lois Lerner

[Bush92]

It's high time the Obama Regime was reigned in

I agree. President Obama should be reigning in America. It's about damn time we had someone in office who actually cares about the people of this country--all of the people, not just the rich, white, male, campaign-contribution-making ones.

Another racist liberal comment.

I hate white "people." So what? How is that even remotely racist?

I'm guessing Stockman is still caught in Beltway traffic.

I hope Lerner doesn't see this thread, she could get away, this "arrest" is taking so long.

GOP Congressman: ?We Just Filed a Resolution Directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to Arrest Lois Lerner for Contempt? | TheBlaze.com

“It’s time to for House to stop tacitly endorsing this administration’s illegal activity by refusing to hold him accountable,” Stockman said. “I expect Democrats to defend and even praise criminal activity. The question is whether Republican leadership will join them in mocking the House and breaking the law.”

Polish the Guillotine.

Congressional resolution?


Yawn...


Resolution Of Congress


Also called a simple resolution, used by Congress to regulate the administrative or internal business in either the House or the Senate, or to express facts or opinions on non-legislative matters. Identified by the abbreviations "H.Res." or "S.Res." and a number, resolutions of Congress do not have to be signed by the president and do not have the force of law.

So the right wingers ITT want someone executed or rot in prison for overseeing a department that a few rogue agents delayed eventual approval for conservative groups? Isn't that a but much? I mean you have no proof of anything, just speculation that wouldn't hold up at all in a court of law. But yeah let's waste our time and money.

The resolution directs the sergeant-at-arms to arrest Ms Lerner. If she appears within 200 blocks of the capitol, she will be arrested. It will be interesting to see how Justice will handle that.

Just checking in to see if Lerner's been arrested yet.

Two theads on this, I did not get an "news alert" she has been arrested.

You're not keeping up with the IRS scandal, are you?

Then you have the balls to say that Conservatives are wasting time and money while the IRS has stalled for months to comply with subpoenas. Hint: The investigation would have been over and tons of money would have been saves if requested material was handed over in a timely fashion. Instead, we are now dealing with "lost" emails and an IRS executive that takes the 5th after making a statement of innocence.

Even you "enlightened" Liberals should be able to see the hypocrisy there.

No vote even scheduled yet:

It's unclear whether House Republican leaders will actually give Stockman's resolution a floor vote. An aide to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) hadn't even heard of the resolution, while an aide to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) declined comment.

You called this "Breaking" news -- why is it NOT happening?

Shitbreath- I copy pasted the story precisely as it was written.. PRECISELY.. And it is breaking news that finally ONE Congressman has called on his party to do what SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE long ago.. If you have a problem with that or how I posted the OP, tough shit..

that sounds like the textbook definition of "plagiarism"

"Breaking" is this year's "Bombshell".

Had any of the flaming libruls in this thread actually read the article they would note that the Congressman is urging the Republican party to set itself apart from the criminally insane leftist Zombie brigade and do the right thing.. Liberals try to create an imaginary boogieman in every single thread.. they all circle the wagons and like good Zombies repeat the same talking points over and over. Note, not one of them have an actual creative thought process..

The Resolution:
Providing for the arrest of Lois G. Lerner to answer the charge of contempt of Congress
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. STOCKMAN submitted the following resolution, which was referred to the Committee on ______________
RESOLUTION
Providing for the arrest of Lois G. Lerner to answer the charge of contempt of Congress
Whereas Lois G. Lerner, former Director, Exempt Organizations, Internal Revenue Service, has been found to be in contempt of Congress for willfully and intentionally refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena duly issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, thereby obstructing the Congress in the lawful exercise of its constitutionally mandated legislative powers; and,
Whereas such behavior is an insult to the dignity of the House of Representatives, an attack upon the integrity of its proceedings, works violence upon the rights of the House collectively, and therefore implicates the long-recognized inherent power of the House to punish and commit for contempt, privileged under the Constitution; and,
Whereas recent history with similarly contumacious and insolent witnesses such as Eric Himpton Holder, Junior, strongly suggests that the present statutory judicial rubric set up to punish and reform such insubordinate and obstructionist witnesses would be ineffective in this case, as it is likely that the US Attorney for the District of Columbia would refuse to perform his lawful duty to bring the offending contemnor Lerner before a Grand Jury and prosecute the same for her misconduct pursuant to section 104 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (2 U.S.C. 194) and section 102 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (2 U.S.C. 192); and,
Whereas the executive and judicial branches’ prolonged and dawdling failure to prosecute Attorney General Holder’s insolent contempt of the 112th Congress strongly suggests that a like proceeding against contemnor Lerner would be similarly futile, and the threat of such prosecution has clearly been insufficient to encourage contemnor Lerner to be honest and candid with the Congress regarding the heinous actions of the Internal Revenue Service;
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Speaker issue his warrant, directed to the Sergeant-at-Arms, or his deputy, commanding him to arrest and take into custody forthwith, wherever to be found, the body of Lois G. Lerner, and bring her to the bar of the House without delay to answer to the charge of contempt of its authority, breach of its privileges, and gross and wanton insult to the integrity of its proceedings, and in the meantime keep the body of Lerner in his custody in the common jail of the District of Columbia, subject to the further order of the House. While in custody, Lerner shall enjoy no special privileges beyond those extended to her fellow inmates, shall not access any computer or telephone, and shall not be visited by anyone other than her counsel, clergy, physician, or family.

Another great article if you haven't read it yet.

Irony. You title the thread to make it sound like Lerner was going to be arrested. So you have had it explained to you that is not what is "breaking". All this is is a big PR stunt by some jackass asking the House to pass his resolution to arrest her.

Big difference.

Thanks for finally catching up to everyone else, though!
