I don't call it phony. Many posters in here certainly do however. I don't know if it's a scandal or not. See post #9 by ECW, that posters thinks this is a big joke and there is nothing to see here. Seems like the pervailing thought.

Me? I don't know either way, phony or not. What's gonna come of it? Probably nothing.

What power does a resolution have?
I believe its how they direct the sergeant of arms to arrest someone for contempt. Should prove interesting.

Cornyn is all talk and photo ops. He has no balls what so ever.

Soooo...are they claiming contempt because she invoked her 5th amendment rights? If so....I don't think this is a winning hand for them.

Or has something else occurred recently that has caused this?

I'm going to guess it's because she improperly invoked her 5th amendment rights. I imagine there will be a fight over that but let's get it started already.

How so? I didn't watch the hearings, so I didn't see her testimony. What did she do that was improper in invoking her rights?

Perhaps the revelations via recently revealed emails that she was conspiring to keep information from falling into the hands of Congress?

Stockman dabbled in birtherism. That's how far nuts.
