Congress's 1/6 Committee Claims Absolute Power as it Investigates Citizens With No Judicial Limits

[bripat9643]

Dims like to pretend this Jan 6 committee is a normal function of Congress. The truth is the Constitution does not authorize Congress to function as another judicial branch and launch investigations into individuals. The Jan 6 is violating the Constitution right and left. It's a witch hunt against the opposing political party. Any decent American should be horrified by this.

​

.....In its ongoing attempt to investigate and gather information about private U.S. citizens, the Congressional 1/6 Committee is claiming virtually absolute powers that not even the FBI or other law enforcement agencies enjoy. Indeed, lawyers for the committee have been explicitly arguing that nothing proscribes or limits their authority to obtain data regarding whichever citizens they target and, even more radically, that the checks imposed on the FBI (such as the requirement to obtain judicial authorization for secret subpoenas) do not apply to the committee.​

They're so in the open with their tyranny now that Nancy wants to expand her personal Brownshirt force (Capitol Police) to ALL 50 STATES. This would introduce a Federal police force with higher jurisdiction than ANY state police have.

Why should anyone swallow that horseshit? Congressional investigations require a specific legislative purpose. The kind of witch hunts the Jan 6 committee is conducting were ended with HUAC.

As we have previously reported and as civil liberties groups have warned, there are serious constitutional doubts about the existence of the committee itself. Under the Constitution and McCarthy-era Supreme Court cases interpreting it, the power to investigate crimes lies with the executive branch, supervised by the judiciary, and not with Congress. Congress does have the power to conduct investigations, but that power is limited to two narrow categories: 1) when doing so is designed to assist in its law-making duties (e.g., directing executives of oil companies to testify when considering new environmental laws) and 2) in order to exert oversight over the executive branch.​

​

What Congress is barred from doing, as two McCarthy-era Supreme Court cases ruled, is exactly what the 1/6 committee is now doing: conducting a separate, parallel criminal investigation in order to uncover political crimes committed by private citizens. ​

It did when republicans were investigating Benghazi, then turned it into an investigation of Hillary Clintons emails. So shut the fuck up with your whining.

We'll see how they like it when they find themselves on the other end of that power next year.

Congress has zero constitutional authority to have a police force, in DC or anywhere else.
