Yep.
She’d be happy to put the GOP in the clinker, then pass some *really* crazy bills.
They should be careful. They’ll wind up in the American Gulag with the Jan 6 people.
In the Rules of the House of Representatives, the word "arrest" only appears three times in regards to quorum and voting.
A search for 'Sergeant-at-Arms" returns rules on maintaining floor privileges, impose fines for recording the proceedings on smartphones, and report ethics violations to members.
Conversely, the Constitution explicitly gives Congress 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.The Speaker's powers are not superior to the Constitution. I don't think she has the power to order the arrest of members who refuse to wear a mask. Congressmen have immunity from arrest on the House floor.
McCarthy should defiantly cite the Constitution and dare Pelosi to violate it.

Won’t happen. There is not one functioning testicle in the entire Republican House.
Kevin McCarthy is a gutless, ball-less wonder.
Of course he understands Pelosi’s game. All the RINOs do, and they play along gleefully. Their role is to merely pose as the opposition.
Everything he has showed me, he is one of the elites. He is not for the American citizen. Did call his office yesterday to have him take ACTION to have Pelosi Republicans removed from the caucus, but I bet he won’t do that either even though Pelosi would have done it to a Democrat who crossed her.
Just so long as the pantless representatives can still be arrested ...
So, how much room do you figure is still available in that D.C. facility for political prisoners? Can they put in the congressional suite of 6X8’s?
He doesn’t want to piss off his boss Nazi Pelousi.
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.
These are our “leaders.”
The lesson Trump tried to teach the GOP-e.
“You can’t win a war only fighting on defense”
He’s a moron.
Not enough synapses to do that.
Nancy ordered Capitol police to arrest maskless and they say she doesn’t control the Capitol police
There has to be an end to this horrible woman.
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.”
They go on a 2 month recess starting tomorrow to raise money off of us.
