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.

Well jeepers, MeshugeMikey, that's NO FUN at all.

Why is the House so reluctant to exercise its constitutional powers of arrest in this case — a case, if ever there were one, that deserved someone being arrested??? In this case, the "point person" of Executive malfeasance, Lois Lerner. She will tell you NOTHING unless severely pressed. Yet she is the one who can "point up the causal chain" to the White House itself.

I actually feel for the "poor woman." She was not the cause of these violations of First Amendment liberty, merely the enabler of them. If she indicates any willingness to speak at all directly and honestly, she is probably going to be thrown under the bus — or worse.

But she's' fighting for her pension at this point. So I expect her to be as recalcitrant in answering Congressman Gowdy's questions as possible.

And just let the Democrats "boycott" this Special Committee. You would think that they would understand that the public does not believe them to occupy the moral high ground as much as they would like to think. They better put some of their own on the Committee, if only to limit the destruction of their public reputation that the Committee might effect in their absence.

Some interesting elections lie ahead that should clarify these issues.

One just waits for the next shoe to drop.... Stay tuned!

Indeed, I am also waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Thank you for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
