House Republicans File Lawsuit Over Metal Detector Fines
June 15, 2021
Written by Martin Walsh

Two GOP lawmakers announced they have filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of fines issued against them for failing to complete security screenings to enter the House chamber.

Republican Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Andrew Clyde of Georgia claim in the lawsuit that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi put the new security measures in place – including metal detectors – specifically to target GOP lawmakers.

Gohmert and Clyde argue Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker and Chief Administrative Officer Catherine Szpindor violated the 27th Amendment of the Constitution, which states, “No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.”

Gohmert and Clyde cite Article I, Sections 5: “Each House … may punish its members for disorderly behavior.” Furthermore, Article I, Section 6 states, “[Representatives] shall in all cases, except treason felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at their respective Houses and in going to and returning from the same.”

As i recall it was a socialist that murdered and shot up Republicans playing on a ballfield.  As azz backwards as democrats can reliably be democrats want to posture they are the victims, regardless of the reality of the situation.  Democrats trying to milk Jan 6th as much as they politically can like co-vid and the election fraud, which they implemented/expedited and also denied.
