Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22918479 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? 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... "..The vote sets up a full debate on the House floor.." [link to politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com] 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. I think he was probably referring to: "..possible court battle over the Fifth Amendment and a potential standoff with the Justice Department." |

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 |

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. |

" I plea the 5th, but I didn't do anything wrong " Classic dumb bitch Quoting: Man Bear Pig 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? |

Ohh there are arrests coming.. Many many arrests.. But it won't be who you think it is getting arrested.. |

Lerner, Former Director, Exempt Organizations, Internal Revenue Service, In Contempt of Congress for Refusal to Comply With a Subpoena Duly Issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Quoting: PlanBSurvival [link to oversight.house.gov] Throw her in jail and let her rot there until she answers the questions.

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. 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. There is a minor problem here. Bohner. |
