Yeah, I am not so sure that is true. But if you can provide me with something from the Constitution that proves the Speaker does have that power, I will change my position. I wish it were true, but I have never seen The Speaker of the House ever using that authority, especially upon a political opponent.
But I could be wrong, and in fact hope I am wrong.

Get him to come over and testify, then lock him up for contempt.

Well, this was certainly not unexpected. However, if Trump wins, and the people put Republicans in charge of both Houses of Congress, then justice will eventually be served. This was just laying the groundwork for the future. Sometimes that is just the realities you have to work in. If the Republicans even get both Houses of Congress, than he can be impeached on day 1 of the new Congress, because the contempt charge has already been established. We thought that last time after we gave them both houses and the Presidency, after which we were japped by the RINO’s.

two standards of justice, one for liberals and one for conservatives!
To: jpp113
A mandamus is a writ issued by a superior court commanding the performance of a specified official act or duty.
So, I 'm not sure that can be done by the House either. But since I have no formal training, or even informal training for that matter, I may again be wrong, and would be perfectly happy to be wrong here also.
To: Robert DeLong
So, then might as well drop ANY cases against Trump while he was in office citing Ex privildge then, right?
is that how it works?
To: dznutz
That's a valid point, but there have been significant changes that have taken place since those first two years of Trump's first term.
So, that means that we just might get a different result this time around. If we get likeminded people then you statement will probably carry mor weight as being correct.
But we all still have better chances, even if some have to vote in people they personally do not like. There will still be differences in the people makeup, as many of those ho fought hard against Trump have already walked away, or are walking away.
That is one reason, that people should also take primary elections more seriously as well, because that is the opportunity to replace some of the lousy incompetent incumbents, with new faces and different priorities.
Down ballot voting is important, and it's important that you party is put into power. It's also important that we the people that put them their, hold their feet to the fire. once they are there.
We didn't do that on Trump's first term. we relied upon him to do it all. Shame on us.

I hope in a few months we can smile about the shoe soon being on the other foot...

We no longer have a function US government. What once was is gone. All that’s left is a burnt scarred heap of corrupt dung.
Lady Justice died.

Not sure what you are trying to say, but they didn't charge Trump during his presidency, they charged him only after he announced he was running again.
But whatever you are trying to say has no bearing on this issue of mandamus. As I stated a mandamus is a writ issued by a superior court commanding the performance of a specified official act or duty.
Congress is not a court, they could petition a court to issue the mandamus I suspect, but I'm not certain about that. But suing the DoJ, is probable not a wise avenue to even pursue. Do you think DoJ would provide a desired result?

Exactly. Congress could hold Garland in civil contempt. The prosecution would occur in the Senate (see 2 USC 288)
The second option is sending out the Sergeant at Arms to arrest Garland.

Maybe we should move the nation's capital. Further away from the urban areas of the east coast and to somewhere in the American heartland.
Kansas or Nebraska would be nice.

I would like to see some discussion of how the tapes were procured from Nixon when he claimed executive privilege, separation of powers and national security.
To: Red Badger
