Luna Circulates Letter to Hold Garland in 'Inherent Contempt' of Congress
"Inherent contempt" of Congress, a power rarely exercised and not used since the 1930s, is now being proposed as a significant measure. In this process, an offender is tried on the House floor, not by the Department of Justice. If the majority finds the offender in contempt, the House Sergeant-at-Arms arrests them until they comply with a subpoena or until the end of the legislative session.
“Inherent contempt” is harder to ignore than a referral, which I predict Garland would reject with the excuse “prosecutorial discretion.” You know, like Comey could have said when he was pretending to be AG.
