Doesn’t the House know how stupid they sound?
It’s just like Obama drawing a red line.
Empty threats accomplish nothing.
“Empty threats accomplish nothing.”
It has not yet been established whether or this is going to be an empty threat. Rep. Stockman is very much in earnest by introducing this bill in the House of Representatives. It is Boehner and the other Republicans who have made earlier statements in May that there were no plans to jail Lois Lerner. Given the legislation introduced by Stockman, it remains to be seen whether or not the other Republicans will act upon Stockman’s proposed legislation. Rep. Stockman has taken the first step required to arrest and jail Lois Lerner. It is now up to the other Republicans and the Democrats to come forth and put her in the Capitol jail for her contempt of Congress. It is also up to the Citizens of the United States to communicate to their Congressmen a demand the arrest and jail Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress or be held accountable for their own failure to comply with their oaths of office. Ultimately the responsibility for requiring compliance with U.S. Government officers’ oaths of office falls upon each and every U.S. Citizen.
