Faith leaders demand DOJ response to 'troubling' attacks on pregnancy centers

Maj John Bell - Statements like this are made all the time in politics. They are not abnormal, at least not these days after the last presidency. If they were to be investigated the DOJ would have to have a whole department tracking down all Marjorie Taylor Greene's statements and the gang of four statements and a whole bunch of other groups I can think of in national politics.

Are you sure your problem isn't the (D) behind his name? There is no reason to think he meant to threaten them.

SPC Kevin Ford - People are shot all the time in Chicago too. Most of it is gang-related. Should we stop enforcing those laws too.. If we're not going to enforce a law either get rid of it or amend it to something we will enforce.

I have no problem with Congress investigating and handing out administrative punishments ALL DAY LONG. Primary benefit, the more they investigate the less time they spend on legislative jackassery and get to priority business.... hopefully. Secondary benefit, perhaps federal elected and appointed officials will be more circumspect and verbally disciplined before they open their mouths.

Yes, I'm pretty sure my problem isn't the (D) behind his name. I don't care for either major party.

"by any threatening letter or communication, endeavors to influence..."

Even Senator Schumer admits he screwed up. Fine, take him at his word, impeach him and punish him with censure.

Remember impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. It is a political proceeding with the potential for administrative, NOT criminal or civil, penalties. Senators, Schumer, Shaheen and President Biden should no better and should be held accountable. Such an impeachment might result in no action, removal from office with disbarment from federal office for life or anything in-between. But the message would be sent. Leave SCOTUS deliberations alone if you are a federal elected or appointed office holder.

Maj John Bell -
You stated:
"People are shot all the time in Chicago too. Most of it is gang-related. Should we stop enforcing those laws too.. If we're not going to enforce a law either get rid of it or amend it to something we will enforce."

You have an assumption that the law was broken. You have not passed the bar to do that.

You stated:
"Even Senator Schumer admits he screwed up. Fine, take him at his word, impeach him and punish him with censure.

Remember impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. It is a political proceeding with the potential for administrative, NOT criminal or civil, penalties."

Which is exactly why what you suggest here isn't going to happen. I wouldn't mind a little bit of Congress holding their membership to high standards regardless of party. But we both know that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

SPC Kevin Ford - Yes because the party in power will only allow investigations of the minority party.
