"I frisked him once. He's clean."

Rep. Louie Gohmert will have $5,000 deducted from his pay because the House Ethics Committee has not agreed to the Texas Republican's appeal of a fine for failing to engage in a security screening prior to entering the House floor.
In his appeal of the fine imposed by the House sergeant-at arms Gohmert said that he had gone through the security screening process prior to entering the chamber, but then departed and reentered the chamber after going to use the bathroom beside the Speaker's Lobby.
"During the weeks that the metal detectors have been in place, I have entered the House floor previously after being screened through the metal detector, then later gone to the Members' restroom immediately beside the Speaker's Lobby many times. I have never before been wanded on coming from the restroom to the House floor. There was no metal detector at either end of the Speaker's Lobby," Gohmert wrote. Later in his appeal Gohmert noted that "a metal detector has now been placed at both ends of the Speaker's Lobby."

Would they do this to Maxine Waters? The question answers itself.

I bet they don’t do this to the ones actually most likely to wear a bomb belt and detonate it on the house Floor... ‘ILLhan 0Mar’ And ‘Rashida Taliban’.
Total BS.
"I frisked him once. He's clean."
The stench of fear hangs over everything they do.
No,I didn't think so!
Any fines (or other sanctions) for DiFi's having had a Chinese spy as her driver for 30 years? No,I didn't think so!
Who screens the screeners?
Where are the 'Craps' demands for screening and testing the hundreds of thousands of infected
foreigners streaming across our borders, allowed to go into American cities to infect US citizens?
They "humanely" protect foreigners.... no orders for screening infected illegal foreigners on our soil.
They allow foreigners into our cities and neighborhoods, unchecked, blithely
transporting them by planes, trains and buses to anywhere they want to go.....at taxpayers’ expense.
All foreigners go unchecked, unscreened, no vaccine passport required.
Whenever there is a mass shooting, a pandemic, or some other horrific occurrence, it is always Americans forced to capitulate.....
to buckle under, to give up a little more of their freedoms, “for the common good”.
It’s always law abiding, tax-paying, innocent Americans who have to take it on the chin,
at the hands of arrogant, self absorbed, narcissists.....like Tripper Joe and the 'Craps.
Trump still lives in thier heads and the 80 million voters they screwed are eerily quiet. Love it
“Walker will be the first black person to serve as sergeant-at-arms.”
It’s all about appearances. If the dude was Caucasian...he wouldn’t be there.
“If this is not corrected in a courtroom, then House members of both parties will be subject to the tyranny of a partisan, zealot Speaker for the rest of Congress’ existence,” Gohmert said in a statement.
Federal Courts will rightly reject the case on the basis of the Constitution stating Congress establishes rules for its members — “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.”
—Article 1, section 5, clause 2
While Pelosi’s rule, and its application by the sergeant at arms, is tyrannical, Gohmert has only three avenues for redress under the Constitution:
1) The existing rules for appeal within the House of Representatives.
2) Ask for a vote of the entire House to change the rule (overriding Pelosi) which he is unlikely to obtain.
3) Obtain passage of a Constitutional amendment giving the courts jurisdiction
Of course if you believe in the “living Constitution” of the left any federal judge on any given day can rewrite the Constitution if the case relates to a progressive.
20 years post 9/11 and all of a sudden the Capitol has metal detection and screens for post 1/6?
IIRC, Pelosi went around the screeners more than once....Did she get fined???
the great Sterling Hayden..
Per wiki....
“...sailor and decorated Marine Corps officer and OSS agent (from services during World War II).”
Back when our big screen heroes were really heroes.
I had no clue. Thanks!
