Oh no my fren, this isn't just normal talk, this is a PRESS CONFERENCE, with a podium and flags and solemn people standing behind her. I'm sure Merrick Garland is hiding out in the Equadorian Embassy in total fear. But seriously kids, even if they do have the balls to pull it off the Head of the DOJ will have a US Attorney in front of a judge to secure his release immediately.
Confirm direction? Meaning that all of these crimes against America will be tried in Congress rather than through the corrupt courts?
Wild speculation, but just something to ponder. It's time to get the main feature underway. We've seen enough trailers and advertisements at this point. I already ate all my popcorn.
Does she have the votes to pass this? Lots of Congress Critters are in deep with the corruption and this is one more domino falling closer to their exposure.
It will be the Sergeant at Arms who will do the arresting wont it? So it will only happen when Garland comes within his jurisdiction. What is that jurisdiction? Im sure he cant just walk over to DoJ and arrest Garland. Garland will probably have to be called to testify in front of one of the House committees.
And your dooming doesnt become you. We all know what the game is. Real Justice cant and wont happen until Trump is back in office. Theres your homework assignment. Instead of coming on here with pure doom why dont you research how, when and where the Sergeant at Arms can arrest the AG for contempt when the DoJ refuses to do its job.
It shall be the duty of the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives to attend the House during its sittings, to maintain order under the direction of the Speaker, and, pending the election of a Speaker or Speaker pro tempore, under the direction of the Clerk, execute the commands of the House and all processes issued by authority thereof, directed to him by the Speaker.

2 US 5605:
The Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives shall have the same law enforcement authority, including the authority to carry firearms, as a member of the Capitol Police.
The Capitol Police shall police the United States Capitol Buildings and Grounds under the direction of the Capitol Police Board, consisting of the Sergeant at Arms ... and shall have the power to enforce the provisions of ... section ... 1966 ...
In the performance of their protective duties under this section, members of the United States Capitol Police are authorized (1) to make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony
Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100 and imprisonment in a common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.
(1) House Sergeant at Arms has the same law enforcement authority as the Capitol Police.
(2) In general, the Capitol Police have jurisdiction over those things that happen on the Capitol grounds.
(3) However, this authority extends beyond the Capitol grounds for the purpose of making arrests, if such arrest is for either (a) a misdemeanor conducted in their presence, or (b) a felony.
(4) Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor, not a felony, HOWEVER ... the contempt DOES occur within the presence of the Sergeant at Arms because he sits in on all House sessions.
(5) Therefore, the Sergeant at Arms DOES have legal authority to go to Garland's home, place of work, or anywhere else to arrest him, if he gets the order from the Speaker of the House.
Of course, this would be challenged in court. What would the questionable SCOTUS say?
If Congress does not have authority to enforce subpoenas to investigate those things for which it has authority to investigate, then it can never have the authority to investigate anything. If a corrupt Executive Branch refuses to investigate itself and Congress cannot impose a penalty, then the entire constitutional system collapses.
Will SCOTUS acknowledge that, or show their own treason by refusing to do so?
I assume the game is PR stunt, because I think most of us realize there is a two tier system of justice generally and they're not actually going to arrest the guy who is the boss of all the prosecutors that can actually charge this crime. Anyway, 2 U.S. Code § 5605 grants him the same law enforcement authority as the Capitol Police.
WTF is wrong with tomorrow?
Why are they being nice to these clowns.
Paperwork takes time.
They can stay up late.
Seriously, Merrick Garland can call his minions back to the office and order pizza just like every other shit manager who fucked it all up
They probably do it by midnight, if they worked hard.
LOL.......
WTF is wrong with 3 hours?
Works for me, but most would consider that unfair.
Next comes a strongly worded letter...
Hmmm, maybe he"ll get an early morning raid with guns drawn and cameras rolling..?
I like the way you think.
Yay!!! 👍
I'll believe it when I see it.
So far, the entire GOP has been all talk and no action.

Haha.
That mad lass, Lunatic Luna!
Hmmm...first arrest maybe?

I like it. My popcorn is gone too....
DO IT.
It's Friday....
Lol... where's that mug shot! 🐸
No warnings. Just do it now. Dear God we are wussies.
This is why Congress works better than "parliament" all parliament does is talk about shit with no real intent to do anything about it.
Does she have the votes to pass this? Lots of Congress Critters are in deep with the corruption and this is one more domino falling closer to their exposure.
Tapes?
Do it!!
I would say turn them over NOW
It will be the Sergeant at Arms who will do the arresting wont it? So it will only happen when Garland comes within his jurisdiction. What is that jurisdiction? Im sure he cant just walk over to DoJ and arrest Garland. Garland will probably have to be called to testify in front of one of the House committees.

What is the authority of the Capitol Police?
2 US 1961:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/2/1961
What does section 1966 say?
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/2/1966
What is the crime of Contempt of Congress?
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/2/192
So, the way I read it is ...
(1) House Sergeant at Arms has the same law enforcement authority as the Capitol Police.
(2) In general, the Capitol Police have jurisdiction over those things that happen on the Capitol grounds.
(3) However, this authority extends beyond the Capitol grounds for the purpose of making arrests, if such arrest is for either (a) a misdemeanor conducted in their presence, or (b) a felony.
(4) Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor, not a felony, HOWEVER ... the contempt DOES occur within the presence of the Sergeant at Arms because he sits in on all House sessions.
(5) Therefore, the Sergeant at Arms DOES have legal authority to go to Garland's home, place of work, or anywhere else to arrest him, if he gets the order from the Speaker of the House.
Of course, this would be challenged in court. What would the questionable SCOTUS say?

If a corrupt Executive Branch refuses to investigate itself and Congress cannot impose a penalty, then the entire constitutional system collapses.
Will SCOTUS acknowledge that, or show their own treason by refusing to do so?
I predict: No standing.
Works every time.
And people will eat that up, even when the Constitutional bell weathers (Alito and Thomas) agree with each other.
