House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday gave her absolute, unconditional surrender to the Chinse coronavirus, by forcing Congressional members and staff to wear special ‘well-fitted” super masks, before ordering the U.S. Capitol Police to arrest those who do not comply.
In a Capitol Police Bulletin she specified “all USCP personnel must wear a mask at all times when in interior spaces throughout the Capitol Grounds.” Additionally, she directed officers who work on the House side of the Capitol to “enforce” the policy on staff and visitors.

Check Pelousy’s hair salon first.
Hope someone sneezes in her face
The author has confused surrender with grabbing tyrannical power.
They're not masks.
They're muzzles.
Start with the superspreader Texas Flees?
The GOP members should all get masks that say, Resign, you Charlatan and silk screen that picture on them.
By what authority and scope? She’s just a House leader.
She has NO SUCH AUTHORITY, for this unlawful, non-scientific mandate.
She has NO SUCH AUTHORITY, for this unlawful, non-scientific mandate.
So she is in charge of the capitol police.
Indeed peons are not allowed to enter.
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.

“So she is in charge of the capitol police.”
As a matter of fact, the Speaker of The House is their ‘Boss’.
So she is in charge of the capitol police.
LOL - That was the first thing I thought - ooops
I now have to check every damned story to see if it’s BabBee satire or not.
If the Republican House representatives had any balls they would all show up without masks and be arrested all at once. But we know that the House GOP is led by worthless, faithless, tools like kevin McCarthy
She’s a fascist. QED
You forgot to mention that she's a Democrat. That's all the authority in her mind, that she thinks she needs.
