Kevin McCarthy Should Call Pelosi's Bluff on Arresting the Maskless Representatives
Free Re1618 ^ | July 29, 2021 | wildcard_redneck

If Kevin McCarthy understood Pelosi's game, he would call Pelosi’s bluff on arresting unmasked representatives. If nearly all Republican representatives show up on the same day without masks will Pelosi have the courage to arrest nearly half of the House? If Pelosi carries out mass-arrests of elected officials it will expose her for the tyrant that she is. If Pelosi backs down she will lose face and lose political power. Conversely, McCarthy and Republican representatives would gain political power.

Too bad that McCarthy is probably too cowardly, compromised, or moronic to seize the opportunity. He looks good on TV though……

She banished all of the jan 6th protesters to the dungeon like she was some kind of fu—ing queen.

Our Constitution explicitly gives Congress members immunity from arrest.

Article I Section 6:

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

Madame Pelosi’s powers are not superior to the Constitution.

She does not have the power to order the arrest of members, who refuse to wear a mask.

Congressmen/women have immunity from arrest on the House floor.

The lesson Trump tried to teach the GOP-e.
“You can’t win a war only fighting on defense”

Throwing apostates and heretics in dungeons to be tortured is what Inquisitors do

We left Europe 400 years ago to get away from this crap, but they followed us here and have now resumed their prior behavior

Nancy ordered Capitol police to arrest maskless and they say she doesn’t control the Capitol police

"Members of Congress on Capitol Hill won't be arrested, because Pelosi doesn't have the authority to mandate the arrest of members of Congress while they're doing their jobs - they'll instead be given fines. It's the staffers and spectators who will be arrested if they don't follow Nancy's dictates."

And while you typed that comment on the limits on their power the leftists in the Biden Regime are actively breaking the law censoring and deplatforming Americans. Have you told them they can't yet?. Pelosi might just be crazy enough to try, when has the Constitution stopped the leftists yet? I am certain that Pelosi' will imagine up a 'penumbra' of the "living constitution" to excuse it.

McCarthy and the rest of the leadership should not only urge all Republicans to undertake a coordinated action like that suggested here, but when she is no longer Der Fuehrer, she should be arrested the first time she opens her mouth, on a charge of “speaking while stupid.”

Doesn’t the constitution say congressmen can’t be arrested while congress is in session unless it is a serious violent crime?

I don’t know why Trump doesn’t criticize him. Steve Cortes asked him.

Pelosi is like food in one’s refrigerator that is well past its prime — it stinks up the whole refrigerator much like she stinks up the House of Representatives.
