really- can we bring a criminal complaint against them?

Steny Hoyer is talking about them holding all of us and our economy hostage on Lawrence O'Donnell's show just now.

Who is in with me?

2. Yes. I'm in. They should all be arrested for being domestic enemies of the country.
They have not defended the Constitution, and they swore (on that Bible of theirs) they would.

3. Can class-actions be criminal, or only civil
?

5. some of them should be arrested for financial markets manipulation/conflict of interest
Edited on Mon Jul-25-11 07:34 PM by pitohui
there is plenty of evidence that some of these folks are shorting stock sales etc. or selling precious metals, both activities where there has been HUGE profit from delaying the compromise

yes, i too have profited by selling precious metals but i do not have any political power to keep the chaos going (gold/silver prices rise on chaos) -- those who DO profit and who continue to engage in these activities are criminals

yes, justice COULD bring a complaint

martha stewart answered a phone call from her BOYFRIEND and went to federal prison, she manipulated no market and did nothing on a par with what eric cantor for just one example has done

absolutely any GOPer involved in manipulating the markets for personal gain needs to go to prison, NOW, TODAY

you cannot both deal in good faith AND be putting money in your pocket as a result of failing to reach an agreement, it is known that cantor has shorted stock and directly benefited from the delay, glen beck sells gold, and so on

arrest these fools, why do we allow such flagrant law breaking? it's truly difficult for me to understand why the law is only enforced when it's a democrat

6. Maybe we could swear out a citizens' warrant and bring it to a federal judge
