The House voted 230-198 on Thursday to hold Attorney General Bill Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt for their failure to comply with subpoenas in lawmakers’ probe into the census citizenship question.
Yes!!
But what now?
Lock 'em up!
I realize that this will be the new excuse for being despicable as an administration, but I’m glad they did this. Otherwise, there is no reason for anyone to cooperate.
Republicans play extreme hardball politics but claim to be victims when others exert their constitutionally mandated authority. I call that deplorable and trying to have it both ways. Good move!
but, but I was told that she was going to fold.
One small step for Pelosi, one giant step for the constitution…
Hope this is a walk of many many steps in the right direction.
No doubt Barr and Ross will do everything they can to use the DOJ to block any enforcement effort regarding this criminal contempt citation – Noble followers of the law that they are (not!)
Shackle the bitches!
That was fast! Thank dog the Dems regained the majority of the House or we’d really be in a world of hurt.
Many people on both sides ™ seem to have made up their mind one way or the other on whether House leadership is going to ultimately have done their job or not, facts be damned.
well, goes to show, you can’t believe everything trolls say on the internets
I believe it goes to court.
Abraham Lincoln said that first, right?
Hold that thought into November 2020.
There is probably even video of him saying it.
ICBW, but from here on out DOJ is irrelevant to the process; the courts are the next and only arena left.
NOT that guy, he was a Republican!
But who would prosecute them?
