But is contempt something they are actually going to arrest anyone for, ever?
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.
