So the title doesn't make clear what's going on. Representative Luna is going to bring a motion before the house to hold Merrick Garland in inherent contempt which is different than all the bullshit contempt of congress stuff that's going on before. This is a very different thing and it's the first time it's been used since 1934 so it's worth understanding and paying attention.


Inherent contempt is a very different thing and I'm glad she's bringing it up. I've argued for this for a long time. The House of Representatives has the option to jail a person for contempt of congress. The house can jail them themselves. There's actually a jail cell in the bottom of the capital that used to be used for this purpose. They can keep the person in jail until they fulfill the request of congress. They don't need to go through the department of Justice they don't need to refer anybody they don't need to do anything else. I used to call for this three four years ago when some of the house investigated committees would say well we referred it and there's nothing else we can do and I would say that's bullshit there's a jail cell on the bottom of Congress and you can hold people in that jail cell until they comply and tell you what they're refusing to tell you. Anyway apparently this representative Luna who actually has been excellent on so many things has it recognized this and brought up this for a vote and last time it was used as in 1934 when someone was held in contempt of congress and the Sergeant at arms in the Congress which is the guy who is basically the head security guy in the house literally goes and arrests the person and they have to come with the sergeant in arms and that person is held somewhere. Now in 1934 they were held in a hotel room until they complied with Congress the jail cell at the bottom of the capital was not used and I would prefer that to be used but still the fact that she has revived something and recognized that it exists that the house has the ability to arrest somebody themselves. They don't need to go through the crew corrupt department of justice. And that's what she's calling for here and that's why this is a very different thing. And that's also why American Garland is so scared and he's calling a bunch of House Republicans and trying to convince them to not have him arrested. Now that in itself is probably a sign of corruption and if that was going on in a Congress or in a courtroom rather the judge would say well that's somebody tampering with the jury. In this case the House Representatives members are the jury and for Merrick Garland to be calling them and lobbying them in secret telling them who knows what I mean he's the head of the department of Justice he could be threatening them with blackmail if they vote to have him arrested.

Garfinkel looks in a mirror every single day and says to himself "I will never be on SCOTUS". I fucking love it.

Rep Luna is leading this.

Her YouTube channel is worth following.

She has led a lot of actual actions rather than a bunch of bullshit talk.

And we all know what will happen. The politicians will lick his shoes. They've been buying their place on the chopping block since 1963.

Merrick Garfinkel.

More kikes need to be kikenamed (equivalent of "deadnaming" a tranny).
