Republicans are starting to lose it

[bedowin62]

You Sir, Have no clue as to what you are talking about. It was a hearing. The Chairman does not get to hold a hearing so he can say what he has to say for 15 minutes and then adjourn. Republicans might as well say they own the government. They need to get a grip on themselves.

You're a lying *****.

Yes, he does get to do that.

In fact, he DID it. And if you'd listen to somebody other than your usual source of news (probably Nickelodeon) you'd know that Issa ran his SCRIPTED proceedings by the House Parliamentarian and got them APPROVED before the Committee Hearing.

Lying scumbag piece of ******* shit. ALL dimocraps

Abuse of power. Complete disregard for ethics. An insult not only to a fellow Representative but to the House of Representatives itself. An insult to every single constituent who is represented by the Representatives. An snub to all Americans. You really don't get it do you?

abuse of power?

the left's hypocrisy and phony outrage knows no bounds!


idiots and hypocrites

Rep. Issa decides House Oversight Committee meeting is not going the way he wants it to go. He adjourns the meeting and walks out, while Rep. Cummings is speaking.

Was the democrat ranting about his worry about Guam tipping over?

Hyperbole much? A snub to Americans. Like the iRS scandal isn't. The IRS scandal is a threat to American Democracy. One party using the bureaucracy to silence the opposition is unprecedented. And unAmerican. Democrats should be grossly ashamed and demand resignations.

That bloviating retard Cummings had his chance to speak- he needs to follow the rules, and keep his trap shut when it is not appropriate to open it. Lerner is a guilty ***** who would inculpate Obama if she answered the questions posed. The IRS is guilty - that is factual. How a dumb ass like Cummings gets a pay check is beyond me.

How the liberals make issue of this, Trayvon Martin, and all the other meaningless BS, but our silent when the president craps all over the nation is telling.

You are blaming Rep. Cummings. Classic.

Because he initiated this particular stunt, maybe. SO maybe he deserves the blame, right?

 

[paperview]

Nut up cranks.

Even Issa knows he disrespected the Ranking Member in that despicable display.

Now you guys should apologize for defending that unAmerican action.

WASHINGTON – The House Republican majority shot down a Democratic effort Thursday to condemn Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House oversight committee, for the "disrespectful manner" in which he adjourned a hearing as the panel’s top Democrat was speaking.

Americans. You know? Those people who are citizens of America. The people who have fought and died for our way of life? Remember them? Ya, well this is their government. Not the Republicans and sure as Hell not Rep. Isaa's.

I don't care if he wanted to scratch his ass for 15 minutes it is standard procedure. The Chairman speaks for an alloted amount of time, say 15 minutes, and then the Ranking Member speaks for the same amount of time. It is not the Chairman uses his full time, shuts off Ranks Member's microphone, and walks out.

Americans who Swear an Oath to the Constitution of the United States and that piss on it all the time, picking and choosing when they decide to actually enforce it.

Targeting Groups because of their political beliefs and then getting ticked off when they are caught and called out on it...............

The IRS is now under multiple lawsuits..........With the DOJ trying to prevent them from having to go to court...........As they know what they did.....................

Idividuals like Lois will eventually get to take the 5th in a Court of Law.............and she deserves it.

The hearing wasn't to get the views of the members. It was to question Lois Lerner. Once it was ascertained that Lerner was too much of a criminal to answer any questions, the appropriate thing was to adjourn. Cummings, being black automatically assumed that the rules didn't apply to him and he didn't have to stop speaking so the mikes were shut off.

If you don't follow the rules of order, you don't speak. I'm terribly sorry Cummings didn't have a firm grasp on the rules. Perhaps if we had more congressmen who did, we wouldn't have so many problems, now would we?

You Sir, Have no clue as to what you are talking about. It was a hearing. The Chairman does not get to hold a hearing so he can say what he has to say for 15 minutes and then adjourn. Republicans might as well say they own the government. They need to get a grip on themselves.

Perhaps you didn't hear me the first time:

Clause 2(k) of House Rule XI on Hearing Procedures:

4)The chair may punish breaches of order and decorum, and of professional ethics on the part of counsel, by censure and exclusion from the hearings; and the committee may cite the offender to the House for contempt.

Cummings was out of order to begin with, and he did not take the time to question the witness. He went on a rant. Also, Lerner was taking the 5th on every question, therefore it was pointless to continue with the hearing. It wasn't until Issa got ready to adjourn that Cummings spoke up.

Cummings also was not recognized by Issa to speak:

Rule 9.--Hearings

(a) A committee member may question witnesses only when
recognized by the chairman for that purpose.

This means, that during that at any point in time during which Issa was issuing any of the 7 questions he asked Lerner, all Cummings had to do was speak up. He had ample opportunity. He would have been recognized by the Chairman and allowed to question the witness. But instead, he waited until Issa adjourned to ask a question. It was too late.

Also Issa has the power to determine the relevance of questions put to witnesses:

(e) Hearings shall be conducted according to the procedures
in House Rule XI, clause 2(k). All questions put to witnesses
before the committee shall be relevant to the subject matter
before the Committee for consideration, and the chairman shall
rule on the relevance of any questions put to the witnesses.

Issa followed the Rules perfectly, and Cummings did not. Instead of asking any questions relevant to the subject matter, he proceeded to breach decorum and go on a rant against Issa. I assume Cummings has the same copy of the Rules of Order that Issa does. Don't presume to think you know more about procedure. No issuances of "racist" or "you don't know shit" will keep you from being wrong.

Straight party line vote. Not one single Republican Representative could bring themselves to to the moral and ethical thing and stand for America rather than party. Now there is something overwhelmingly surprising.

Repubs didnt roll over and play dead for a whiny democrat loser that has been trying to make a mockery of the procedure?

cant you morons on the Left ever stop crying?

spare us the phony outrage of "the moral and ethical thing'

ur a JOKE

 

[TemplarKormac]

Issa broke no rules, therefore any resolution to oust him is frivolous. A censure would have fallen flat on it's face.

And a special prosecutor would have been the proper way to deal with this................

That should have been the proper way from the beginning.
