And its unclear that "arrest" is even the proper word to describe what the
Chairman tried to do - since I don't think that even if the Chairman's
request had been carried out that the Democratic Representatives would have
been detained, placed in jail, or had charges filed against them.
At any rate, caning another Congreesman, literally nearly to death, on the
floor of Congress is far worse.
