Send a strongly worded letter.
My guess is not one damned thing.
It’s a separation of powers matter. Congress has no oversight authority over the courts, and it is in the interest of American businesses to have a functioning federal court system.
Let me guess. Another federal judge will declare federal judges are protected by “separation of powers”
Contempt of Congress, followed by a request to DOJ to prosecute.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander
Why is this a big deal? They were invited, it says (not a subpoena?) and they refused.
So what. If there was no legal obligation, why would them saying no be significant?
It’s time the FBI investigated that little commie biatch, Bonusburger. He’s a pig and has drawn a bead on every American in America. Bass turd.
They should hold slimey Boasberg in contempt and issue an order of suspension of duties until he complies. Make him show up in court. In the meantime. The senate should subpoena his business and personal emails for conversation related to Trump and the other victims for time frame leading up to these bogus witch hunts.
Speaking of the “Senate”, did Chrissy Van Hollen elope with Kilmar the Abrego Kid yet?
BS. OUTAGE of spines and balls.
True in a larger sense, however, it can impeach and remove a judge. The actions in this instance just might warrant impeachment.
Next time subpoena them - make it INvoluntary for them to show up and explain themselves. And if they plead the 5th, the implications are clear that they know that they did something wrong.
Congress approves the judiciary budget each year. Apart from cutting the judges’ salaries, Congress can increase or decrease the judiciary's budget. And Congress has the authority to set the jurisdiction of the District Courts, and historically it has done so. In fact, reforms to the Judiciary Act to restrict the issuance of nationwide injunctions against the President are desperately needed.
Issue an apology for asking!
This was another stupid PR stunt by the Stupid Party.
This "hearing" has no legitimate legislative purpose. And the GOP majority did not have the balls to compel appearance with a subpoena, BECAUSE the hearing had no legitimate legislative purpose, and such a subpoena would have been quashed in. a nanosecond.
The Senate has the power to TRY Judges Boasberg and Boardman, and if convicted remove them from the bench - EXCEPT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IMPEACHED BY THE HOUSE.
A "hearing" to "expose" anything is illegitimate, and I wouldn't blame any court including the USSC to issue an order forbidding it.
Congress may need a time out to recover some sense of its role and its purpose.
There actually IS a Constitutional way for the Republicans to allow the President to dismiss Congress - but the GOP would never go for it.
meh, outrage? is that it?
The plug in he swamp remans very tight.
Impeaches and Cream.
Give it to them.
So, you can forget ever sending any of these criminals, judges, to jail or losing their jobs. The weak-kneed, no-balls republicans and RINOs WILL NOT do it. Simple as that. Even though they know the commies will do it to them when they next get into control!!!
