Nah, Contempt of Congress is no biggie and they're mostly doing it to strengthen the fight in court to get the full Mueller Report. They can't really do the whole Inherent Contempt Lockerup thing because as AG, he gets guards and that would be kind of awkward for a Sergeant-at-arms to deal with. Plus, they're going after him regarding the report, not his House testimony that he blew off.

More or less one more step to strengthen the court case, as the federal courts don't like stepping into branch disputes unless one particular side showed they're properly negotiating and the other isn't.

The sergeant at arms can at least serve it and see what they say.

The true spirit of democracy is making sure Those People don't have proportional representation.

I'd be up for lifting the maximum number of representatives in the House, but if you're going to do it with Senators as well, why not just go to a unicameral legislature?

This man’s brain is trembling in the balance between reason and insanity, and as he stalks on with clenched fist and sword in hand, as though he still saw those murderous Russians gunners.
I came across an article in a different thread, so of course I stopped to read it rather than actually doing work, because lets face it, it's monday and I don't give two shits about being productive.
Just another example of the current administration loving up what used to be an american tradition.

He 'consulted with the DOJ', and I'm sure you can understand how they'd deny such a request.

Yeah, the legal basis is that it will take forever to get a federal court order, then even longer for the appeals court to rule, then even longer for the Supreme Court to rule.

Yeah christianity can be kind of a mixed bag considering all the prosperity gospel assholes, but on the other hand, Oscar Romero and Dietrich Bonhoeffer are fuckin' legit.
