The White House, the Justice Department, the Vice President and a long list of other Republicans all refuse to comply with legitimate congressional subpoenas. These actions are a deafening proclamation of Republican contempt for law, Congress and most seriously the American people.
Now is the time for the Democrats in both the House and Senate to introduce a bill calling this "Contempt of Congress". Yea, yea, I know it gets investigated by DOJ and has little chance of going anywhere anytime soon.
But it does put the Republicans into the fire.
If they vote against the citation, as I would expect, it publicly declares Republican contempt for the law and for the American people. The vast majority of people are smart enough to see it, no matter how MSM spins it. In fact the more they spin the more people will call bull shit. How about that, two birds (a vulture and a turkey?) with one stone.
Every month or two Congress introduces another contempt citation, lord knows there's plenty of material. Every time the Republicans have to stand up and again publicly declare their entire party's contempt for people and law.
The second thing it does it make it at least appear that the Democrats are actually doing something. It's those contemptible Republicans that are stopping up the flow.
Long before next year's elections the entire Republican party will be toast. They will have totally destroyed themselves by repeatedly demonstrating their total contempt for people. And the foot dragging, slow-walking and outright interference of the DOJ simply adds a nice layer of butter and jam.
Tasty toast, anyone?
