How is the house able to arbitrarily give themselves punitive powers without creating a law?
The house has been overstepping it's authority since it was seated. Why should this be any different? They will try to get away with aything they can, until they are challenged & reviewed in a SCOTUS ruling on the legality of their actions. RBG & Roberts are their aces in the hole to get away with their actions. POTUS is holding off on much of his agenda until there is a movement there w/ RBG. This is a puzzlement to me & I guarantee it will be a huge scandal when it finally breaks open, maybe not overtly disclosed publicly, but it will be apparent for those paying attention when the shuffle commences.
They say FISA Full Declass Brings down the House of Cards. They are chipping away at it, but we ain't there yet, but we know that Schiff, Pelosi, Warner & Schumer were all on the Gang of 8 & fully aware of what occurred. (Along with Ryan, Nunes, McConnell & McCain).
