Is there any real reason why the Speaker of the House can’t have the Sargent at Arms arrest Mr. Holder and detain him until such a time as he decides to no longer be in contempt of Congress?
Yes. It would interfere with his plan to assist the criminality of the Democrats.
that is THE real reason.
He has the power. He does not use it. Those are the facts.
I would expect that that would result in the appearance, at the location of the Congressional detention location, of large numbers of armed Federal Marshalls, in conjunction with a full team of FBI HRT operators.
The Capitol Police would - at that point - have to make a fight-flight decision.
Depending upon how they made that decision, at that moment... our Nation, as founded, could end. Right there, that very day.
I have a question as to the meaning/intent of the expression “contempt of Congress”. Congress to my learning and understanding is made of two bodies i.e. House of Representatives and the Senate. Question! Can “contempt of Congress” be based on only one of the bodies? If both bodies must be affected I can see where Holder can have a smug attitude.
