House Votes to Hold Lois Lerner In Contempt
— Ace

The rest of us already held her in contempt without a formal vote.

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about the agencyÂ’s targeting of conservative groups.

The House voted 231-187 for a resolution holding Lerner in contempt.

Gabe has written about what comes next.

23 So, we know we've been pretty anti-war for a couple decades now. Opposing just about every war, saying it's a right wing war on People of Color, that sort of thing. But we're pretty sure we have to go to war in Nigeria immediately and start sending drones right the fuck now. Some might say we've only become Drone Warriors now cause it's black girls at risk and that we are blatantly using our racial loyalty to drive American foreign policy. People who say that are probably just nasty white racists. You shouldn't listen them. War in Nigeria Now!!! This Is What Democracy Looks Like!!

34 Minutes after the Lerner vote, the House passed a resolution asking the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel to probe the IRS by a vote of 250-168.

When the history of the finally completed Obama administration is totted up, it should show a record number of administration officials having been found in contempt of Congress. Including a record number of Cabinet officials.

Reflecting the very real arrogance and contempt and disdain with which the administration has treated a co-equal branch of government.

Posted by: torquewrench at May 07, 2014 03:42 PM (noWW6)

39 OK, the main question is, will she cave and give up the rest of the rats? Holder's not going to prosecute her and Obama can give her a pardon. I think our leverage here is weak.

Freakin' Issa should have listened to Gowdy when this bint testified the first time.

She waived her 5th Amendment rights, tell her she just did, and ask her if she'll answer their questions.

No?

Sgt. at Arms, arrest her for contempt.

Think throwing her in the Congressional Hoosegow for a couple weeks would have loosened her tongue?

Issa blew it.

56 ") Hold congressional contempt proceedings. These are quasi-judicial proceedings, rooted in the constitutional investigatory and legislative power of Congress, in which the members of Congress themselves act as judges, juries, and prosecutors. It is very important to note that this is not a judicial process. The chamber of Congress in question has the power to direct the Sergeant at Arms to arrest someone, bring them before the chamber, and put them in jail, all without seeing the inside of a courtroom." From Gabe's Nuts & Bolts thread, linked up top the GOP CAN throw this filth in jail, they just won't

Now the matter will be referred to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The contempt charge will then be referred to a grand jury for further review, but it is unclear how the Justice Department will proceed. Politically, however, House Republicans will be able to declare victory...

132 i mean the harshest thing (gabe) is 4) Finally, either chamber could file suit in civil court for declaratory and injunctive relief after it has issued a subpoena that has been ignored. This is not a contempt proceeding, but it would be one way of enforcing subpoenas if any of the contempt procedures above failed. This is the least tested option, especially when the subpoenas are directed at the Executive Branch, because it raises so many separation of powers questions. Congress would be asking the Judiciary to force action by the Executive. Courts are usually very unhappy about doing that and usually refuse to rule on such cases, citing the political question doctrine. *The doctrine provides that some questions are more properly committed to a coequal branch of government, that the court has no standards with which to resolve the dispute, or that it would be imprudent to interfere.* wow we really are scerwed.

Posted by: willow at May 07, 2014 04:12 PM (nqBYe)

133
If Lerner is held in contempt, she'll join more than a dozen senior government officials held in contempt by congressional committees in the last four decades for either lying to lawmakers or refusing to cooperate with congressional investigations. Of those officials, only five have been found in contempt by the full House:

Anne Gorsuch Burford
Rita Lavelle
Joshua B. Bolten
Harriet Miers
Eric H. Holder Jr.

So, one of those 5 is the person determining whether to pursue prosecution. Wonder what will happen?

This procedure also allows the subpoenaed individuals to present defenses and challenges to the validity of the Congressional subpoena. In short, Congress has several options for enforcing subpoenas, but in each case the subpoenaed individual will have the opportunity to raise defenses and challenge CongressÂ’ contempt order. Given recent events, of most interest for us will be claims of executive privilege} and nice to see you.

206 That's from Jay Sekulow who is the lead counsel for the [ACLJ]. They have been the most active lawyers representing the Tea Party groups on this issue from day 1. He seems to know what he is doing. The ACLJ has had a number of interesting victories since it was founded. If nothing else, they demonstrate how ACLU doesn't live up to its stated principles.

215 >>is Ukraine the only one at risk or are other from the old eastern block also in danger from pipelines etc? Well Ukraine was always the prize because of it's location, much like Syria, but there are other former Soviet states as well as surrounding countries in play. All you have to do is look at pipeline maps and oil and gas terminals to see what is happening. McCain is right often but he was right when he said that Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country.

403 That would be awful. I denounce myself. Posted by: grammie winger at May 07, 2014 10:17 PM (oMKp3) I would rent a bus, fill it with german shepherds and belgian malinois, drop the windows and match his speed for miles upon miles of PCH.

448 I got banned hard, then I wandered the webs (Blackfive, Flopping Aces, Hot Air, before I landed here).  Oddly it was Pixy's interface that trapped me here.  Those other guys went to WP which I couldnt make work thru the proxy.  Hot Air just sucked and if I spend too much time on ARF.com or freepland I begin to scare myself.

469 If the process against Lerner is not served by the end of this Congress, does this contempt action become moot? The House is not a continuing body, and the next House is not bound by the activities of this House.

Does Lerner legally skate if Holder doesn't follow through by January 2015?
