Among other things, the whole point of the Sergeant-at-Arms "taking that man into custody" is to bring him to the committee to testify. If that man is sitting in the hearing room testifying, there's no point in taking him into custody.

The internet has many benefits, but one of its detriments is that it allows people with no experience and no legal training to read just enough about various legal concepts and procedures to think "Hey, that sounds like a good idea!" and then spread it all over social media, throwing in just enough fancy terms to sound like they know what they're talking about.

I really wish there was a way to ban anyone without a law degree or significant experience working in a senior position on a Congressional committee from discussing "inherent contempt" in public since most of the people talking about it don't have the first clue about what it is and how it does and doesn't work.

Anyone claiming that "precedence and legalities" should take a backseat to "drama and the visual" is a Trump-emulating fool. Rick Wilson needs to sit down, STFU and stop spewing his ignorance out to the world.
