Name me one politician who isn’t, in some form or another, pro amnesty?

What? So that makes his position right?

Are you pro-Amnesty?

The problem is who is going to enforce it? Holder? Who is available to put the person in jail?

From Wikipedia:

Procedures

Following the refusal of a witness to produce documents or to testify, the Committee is entitled to report a resolution of contempt to its parent chamber. A Committee may also cite a person for contempt but not immediately report the resolution to the floor. In the case of subcommittees, they report the resolution of contempt to the full Committee, which then has the option of rejecting it, accepting it but not reporting it to the floor, or accepting it and reporting it to the floor of the chamber for action. On the floor of the House or the Senate, the reported resolution is considered privileged and, if the resolution of contempt is passed, the chamber has several options to enforce its mandate.

Inherent contempt

Under this process, the procedure for holding a person in contempt involves only the chamber concerned. Following a contempt citation, the person cited is arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for the House or Senate, brought to the floor of the chamber, held to answer charges by the presiding officer, and then subjected to punishment as the chamber may dictate (usually imprisonment for punishment reasons, imprisonment for coercive effect, or release from the contempt citation).

I’m not pro amnesty. I just can’t seem to use it as a point to look for in a Republican politician because they ALL are pro amnesty in one way or another.

Prove me wrong and name me a name. Please.
I want to be wrong.

Ted Cruz in the Senate, Louie Gohmert in the House.

Cruz is in the Senate and should remain there as an effective voice within that body.

You asked for a name, I gave you two and you are still making excuses as in, "but of course that will never happen."

Why?

Gowdy, by the way, is also pro-Amnesty.

That's what the Democrats say. As well as some duped FR "conservatives".

Your use of "pro-Amnesty" condenses a complicated subject incorrectly. Gowdy is and has been on record regarding amnesty. His position is not what you think, apparently.

Well what is his position on Amnesty then if I have it wrong? You chose not to flesh it out.

Source it for me.

I saw clips of this. Koskinen actually laughed at Gowdy and others when they demanded their subpoena be complied with. Laughed at them.

Asked and discussed on dozens if not scores of FR Gowdy threads that are archived. Do your own homework, Johnny.

Just “google” Trey Gowdy/Amnesty and you will find a multiplicity of news sources describing his support for “the children of illegals” staying.

Children get to stay which means the illegal parents get to stay and then, in an attempt at family unification, the chain migration of aunts, uncles, grand parents and cousins begins.

This is “backdoor” amnesty.

Too bad that is your understanding from reading those Googled news stories.

BTW, I've found that where folks like Palin and Gowdy are concerned, Google (among another search engine or two) is not their friend.

Now back to the subject of this thread...

This is a waste of time until they start holding people in contempt and locking them up in the Captital Police jail. The IRS and Holder will drag this out until Obie leaves office.

My understanding? My understanding?

That what it is called in the articles presented as well as the accepted definition of "backdoor amnesty."

I asked you to flesh out his position in post #34 and you have not done so.

Why?

See post #22. This does not involve Holder or the DOJ!

“.... demanding that he provide disgraced IRS official Lois Lerner’s emails in a reasonable amount of time.”

.
Set time limits, dammit.

What is a reasonable amount of time? A year, nine months?

Would we be allowed a reasonable amount of time by the IRS to file our taxes after the deadline?
