Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) announced on Monday his confidence that the Republican party has secured sufficient votes to charge Attorney General Merrick Garland with inherent contempt of Congress, as reported by Just The News.
Last month, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl) informed fellow lawmakers of her intention to introduce a resolution compelling the House sergeant at arms to detain Attorney General Merrick Garland and present him before the lower chamber.
“Under inherent contempt, the individual is brought before the bar of the House by the Sergeant at Arms, tried by the body, and can then be detained either in the Capitol or in D.C.,” Luna said. “This process demonstrates the seriousness

If you read the article, you'd see that the headline is misleading. She does NOT have the votes to arrest him, but she has the votes to impose a $10,000/day fine on him

Garland deserves anything we can possibly do to him in response to the miserable biased job he has demonstrated in his position as attorney general.

This is why the Republicans will always be the losing party. This is a no-brainer and if the roles were reversed, the Democrats would have already voted and passed inherent contempt. When they are in the minority, they lick the boots of the Democrats and when they are in the majority... they lick the boots of the minority. If it wasn't for Trump, I'd sit this one out. I'm sick of the Republicans and stopped donating several years ago.

Wake up the country when Garland is arrested and jailed, otherwise, don't bother informing us. Everything from the GOP and their hearings, (to get to the bottom of something important), has become nothing but meaningless click bait!!

Thank you Rep. Luna, it is time the Biden administration is held accountable, time to stop the lies to the American people and shine some daylight on all they have tried to hide, especially in regard to Joe Biden. He is a threat to our national security, he is in mental and physical decline. Garland is protecting him and furthering the security risks we face because of Joe Biden. Those tapes have to be damning or else he would have released them. Release the tapes or go broke and to jail!

what good is fining a govt crook ? he'll swipe the money from tp-funded secret slush money caches.
this is another failure by weak unspeakable johnson to deploy many available remedies.
is he a hater, as well, against pdt and bannon?
or perhaps he does not read enough to know his favourability, and his poll numbers,
are lower than joek n jill.

Garland's response to Congress: He's long destroyed the actual tape so there is nothing to disclose anymore.

I wonder if the Dems will manage to vote in lockstep this time. Some of the House Dems represent conservative districts and the voters are not happy campers at the moment. If they do have the votes, arrest him on Friday and put his butt in jail over the weekend. Let him get a taste of his own medicine.
