Resolution Recommending That the House of Representatives Find Hector Roos in Contempt of Congress for Refusal to Comply with Subpoenas Duly Issued by the Committee on Ethics
“I want all politicians to have five days to add more talk about this resolution. They can put in whatever extra stuff they want.”
“I want to talk. I already said why I like this resolution. I want it to pass. I'm done talking now.”
“I want this resolution to pass. Roos defied our subpoenas. He didn't talk to us. Our committee agreed that he delayed our work. If you ignore us, you will be punished. We will come after you if you don't obey us.”
