In your role as President of the Senate, must now move to issue an arrest warrant to compel the testimony of Judge James Boasberg. This is the exact wording that would be required to trigger the Senate’s inherent contempt power and authorize the Sergeant at Arms to arrest a sitting federal judge.
“Resolved, That the President of the Senate issue his warrant, directed to the Sergeant at Arms of the United States Senate, commanding him to take into his custody the body of James Boasberg, and bring the same before the bar of the Senate, to bring with him the correspondence, memoranda, books, files, and records referred to, and then and there to answer such questions pertinent to the matter under inquiry with reference to facts regarding correspondence, memoranda, books, and files as the Senate may propound, and to keep the said James Boasberg, in custody until he shall have fully answered the questions propounded to him by the Senate, or until otherwise ordered by the Senate.”
