Karen Bass: Fining Members of Congress for Gun Control May Not Be Constitutional

BASS: "First of all, we have some real concerns as to whether or not that’s even unconstitutional, as to whether you can actually fine members, because our understanding is, is that if a member was to be punished in any kind of way, it would actually take a floor vote. Members of Congress would have to vote whether or not they could punish a member for videotaping. So we are really researching that aspect now, but I have to say that that was a real drastic time. I mean, we had reached a level of frustration where we had tried to have legislation around guns heard, introduced, and Republicans essentially would not move any of the legislation forward. That’s what led to such drastic measures."
