ah, i see. ok what happens now? do we know what's going on in there? is there another day to it or more action today?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22918479


I believe that the contempt charge is then sent to a federal judge for a final ruling. If upheld, Congress would be in their right to have her arrested.

I'm not an attorney, but I think that is how it would go...

Thanks...I also thought that Issa mentioned that the contempt charge would also be ruled upon by a federal judge. Was that maybe what he expected to occur after the full House voted to hold her in contempt, and the Dems subsequently challenge?...or is that a part of the process? I could be totally wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure that he stated a Federal Judge would rule on this at some point.

Those vermin need to do something constructive, like drag her outside and hang her from a lamp-post?

But is contempt something they are actually going to arrest anyone for, ever?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22918479


they held the us attorney general in contempt and he laughed.

main things to come from this are:

1. these legislatures say somethings, enact laws, they make law
2. if obama, holder, this lady it means nothing

then

3. nothing they say or do does

its that simple

Make no mistake folks. 95% of what congress does is create tax code. Say what you will about the various regulatory agencies, but they generally make the rest of the federal rules we are supposed to live under (EPA,FAA, NRC, DOE, etc.) Those folks do it based based on quasi academic principles that can be peer reviewed over time. Tort Law was largely finished 100 years ago, there is little new work to be done there, and if so, it is done by the state legislators.

Everyone on that committee, Democrat, Republican, the congress itself, and staffers, senior management at the IRS, are lawyers and political science types who are so worthless they would starve in the garden of Eden. Don't get to vested in any fruits of this soap opera.

She is simply following her orders of her boss and those above her. Most likely she has been threatened along with her family. So who really gave the orders?

So far in this administration, no one had been arrested or fired , despite IRS corruption, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, vote fraud, ignoring the laws on immigration, ignoring the ACA law by endlessless "delays" and waivers, etc.

The corruption never gets STOPPED.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22918479


They can bring it up to the DOJ for formal charges but if the DOJ doesnt act, I think there is a provision where they can still arrest her. I read about it on Drudge.
 Quoting: PlanBSurvival


Here it is...

"Among those tools is the House's “inherent contempt” authority under the Constitution, which was initially exercised in 1795 during the First Congress and on multiple occasions thereafter. Lerner could be held until January 2015 when a new Congress is seated, which could issue another subpoena and throw her in the clink again if she still balks at testifying."

Boehner can direct the sergeant at arms of the house to arrest and confine her.
