OK, Nancy. It is time to start arresting people for contempt.
The trump administration has just sent a letter saying that they are going to violate the Constitution and ignore congressional subpoenas.

Inherent contempt must be charged against everyone who refuses to appear, and they must be thrown in jail.

Do not wait for the courts. If we don't enforce our subpoenas now they will never be worth the paper they're printed on.

14. Just for the argument...

What if Pelosi knows that the GOP plan is to overthrow the government, that they want the Dems to make a move like putting people in jail or something extreme so tRump can claim a coup basically projecting their own intent on the Dems. tRump, the administration and the GOP senate call in enforcements, annul the constitution and put Pelosi and Dem house members under arrest. A new government would be in control and there's not much anyone could do about it. In such a case should they still enforce the non-compliance through force?

Just for argument sake...

17. How about if Trump starts arresting Democratic congressional leaders?

He's already accused them of treason, and Barr would do it.

20. My question is who would do it?

The DOJ has all the federal law enforcement folks.

And all the federal jails. Without DOJ cooperation where would the arrested folks be kept assuming there is someone to arrest them?

Same with fines. Who is going to enforce/collect them? Maybe I’m missing something.

Yeah, I know it was done like 100 years ago. But can’t see how that works now.

29. In the last 40 year the fascist have gained control of 2/3rds of the states, 70% of the Federal

courts, 100% of the justice department and control 2/3rd s of the Federal government. What I'm saying is they can do ANYTHING they want and get away with it.

47. Throw them in jail.

Accountability does not work unless you hold someone to account for their actions. Jail time is warranted for explicit contempt for the law.

Except the demofascists have not issued subpoenas.  They have sent letters and, get this, lied abot those worthless and illegal letters to be subpoenas.

Nanzi Palsi can do nothing. She let the super crazy fascists paint her into the corner and there is no way out for her. Palsi versus Trump is major league versus kindergarten. It is not even a contest.
