The House has held Lois Lerner in contempt, but it won’t use its power to place the former IRS official under arrest, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said on Sunday.

The House won’t even arrest our path over the cliff of fiscal ruin.

Lerner would be screaming to be arrested if a crowd of
irate taxpayers were battering at her door...

Arrests for contempt of congress are exceedingly rare. Only about 3 times since 1795.

I don’t believe theres a law against “protesting” her actions...on a face to face basis is there?

TIME HAS COME TO SPEAK UP!

I think the last time it happened was in 1920.

Arrests are rare because those found in contempt almost always comply one way or another.

She’s one of Barry’s smidgens. Not one smidgen has ever been arrested in the history of the United States Congess. However, the Rams did make “history” by drafting the first “openly gay” homosexual in the “history” of the NFL recently so who knows what could happen.

Congressional leaders like Boehner share in the shame of allowing the erosion of the fundamental rule of law in the USA, including freedom-supporting constitutional law, with Democrat socialists and assorted fascist/statist “leaders.”
