Glenn Kirschner tweet: Congress - use your lawful powers!



Glenn Kirschner ✔ @glennkirschner2

In 1821, SCOTUS said: Congress’ power to “hold someone in contempt is essential to ensure that Congress is not exposed to every indignity and interruption that rudeness, caprice or even conspiracy may mediate against it.” Congress - use your lawful powers!

Glenn Congress needs you giving them some guidance. Why wouldn’t they use “Inherent Contempt”? I don’t get it! Just finished listening to you and Charlie Savage. You inspired me to go back out on the streets. Heading to Sarasota now! This morning in St Pete! #WeThePeopleMarch

Hopefully she'll paraphrase Popeye:


It's all I can stands, and I can't stands no more
