GOP Lawmaker Proposes Lerner Rule

The bill would require federal workers to be fired if they don't answer questions from Congress.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) on Thursday proposed legislation that would require federal workers to be fired if they don't answer questions from Congress.

The bill is a reaction to Lois Lerner, the IRS official who refused to answer questions about the IRS's targeting of conservative groups during a congressional hearing last month. Lerner told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, "I have not done anything wrong," then invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination on the advice of her lawyers.

Not only should they be fired, but they should also be prohibited from ever working for the government again.
Scumbags!

Fired is really mild. Not allowed another job outside private industry would be a step, but why not 5-10 in prison? 20 maximum.

That might open a mouth or two...
