3. Now on CNN

Voter suppression on steroids - lock him up!

[Cha]

5. Show Cause Hearing Why He Should Not Be Held in Contempt?

6. The percentage of mail delivered dropped from 92% (?) to

Ranges of 60-82% after mail voting began and DeJoy threw out machines, etc.

7. Not a lawyer so asking,

Can Trump pardon a contempt to court Citation. It is not a conviction so there is nothing to overturn

I hope Sullivan thrown DeJoy in jail for contempt and keeps him there until all of the mail in ballots arrive weather or not they will get counted.

8. No conviction, nothing to pardon. nt

[bottomofthehill]

10. What I was hoping to hear.

Throw his ass in for contempt

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Not Sure About That

Ford pardoned Nixon for any crimes he MAY have committed.
There was no trial, no convictions, but he got pardoned.
There clearly is a lot of latitude given POTUS, with respect to pardons.

[crickets]

19. Point taken.

Presidential pardon deserves a retinkering. No one ever thought someone would abuse it the way trump has, and likely plans to on his own behalf.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. It'll Be Tough

The lack of strictures in the Constitution would make laws on that subject very tricky.
Lawyers might figure out a way to do it, but tough sledding & lots of courts involved.

[localroger]

23. No. Contempt is entirely a judicial function.

Even the pardon of Nixon for crimes he might one day be convicted of presupposed a conviction which could be set aside by the pardon. Contempt is a tool reserved to the court system for its own internal purposes.

9. Thank you thank you for the update!!!

Have been searching and searching for any word because yesterday, Sullivan gave them a pink slip and told them to report to the Principal's office today and I couldn't find out when!!!

[Windy City Charlie]

11. There's no doubt

There's no doubt they knew exactly how much mail to hold back. So criminal.

[triron]

14. Betting Putin had a hand in the Vote counting.

[ancianita]

12. Oh. He gets a choice.

He won't show for either and will dare the court to enforce its orders.

[Harker]

15. "Befehl sind Befehl.". n/t

[NurseJackie]

16. Will this change anything?

Will the "lost" and "misplaced" and delayed ballots still be counted? Or were the criminals successful in making them invalid?

[icwlmuscyia]

18. I am so curious too. Does crime pay?

Especially in Miami where this appears to be major factor in Trump'a win there.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. #DeJoyForDeJail. Thanks that's hilarious! LOCK HIM UP!

[LiberalFighter]

21. Run DeJoy thru a sorting machine.

[SweepPicker]

22. Why is it

that these mf'ers never pay for this blatant BS?
