Sounds more like a compromise just to get Garland in front of the House WITH the requested docs.
As for how to fine him, don't just fine him, fine the whole DOJ, but not just a measly $10K. Refuse to find the WHOLE DOJ until he capitulates and gives the House what they want. There are plenty of precedents already set forth by the Executive Branch, going all the way back to Lincoln's days (maybe even earlier than that) when a certain person, group, or agency refused to comply. Lincoln would fall out jail certain people.unwillih to work with him during the (un)Civil War. Roosevelt would threaten (and follow thru) to deny states funding if they pushed back on his New Deal ideas, including keeping much needed infrastructure money from the States if they refused to play nicely. Every other President has also threatened and sometimes followed thru using this approach. [Hussein] threatened to deny education and infrastructure funding if States or even U.S. House/Senate officials failed to pass his (un)Affordable Health Care Act. [W] threatened similar if his (un)Patriot Act wasn't signed into law.
Since the U.S. House controls the power of the purse and Presidents don't, denying funds to the whole of DOJ should be a relatively easy thing to accomplish.
I see what Luna is trying to do, and I commend her for it, but it's time these "Conservatives" start delivering on past promises before they fully and finally relegate themselves to the same trash bin of history the Democrats are heading to for their apparent failures to govern properly and accordingly under the auspices of the U.S. Constitution.
Sure, fine them all. Double, triple the fines. That will teach them. About as much as the sex abuse fines paid by the taxpayer funded sex abuse slush fund stopped them from raping people, right?
I believe so. Thank you for sharing this. We are just making noise to draw attention to this as we have to show the people who did not listen in the past.

Yeah I mean we're paying the fines anyway so who cares!
