House panel: Attorney General Eric Holder held in contempt; vote followed strictly partisan lines

Not much else to say there, other than the consensus seems to be that Boehner is put in a pickle over this and that the mainstream RNC”rs don’t want to have this going on during an election cycle. We shall see.

From a CNN email alert-

Voting on strictly partisan lines, a House committee recommended Wednesday that Attorney General Eric Holder be cited for contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents relating to the botched Fast and Furious weapons sting operation.

The measure now goes to the full House for consideration, expected next week, of what would be an unprecedented event — Congress holding a sitting attorney general in contempt.

    *Sigh*  Remember the good ‘ol days?  When citing Executive Privilege was a good thing, and contempt of Congress {for not showing up} was patriotic?

    During Senate confirmation hearings, Mr Holder said “No one is above the law”. To read about others who are actually above the law, search for “New police weapon against homeless” and also “Historic coverup of FBI and police crimes currently taking place”. soxin8@hotmail.com

    So the repukes that control the House have nothing better to do with their time but undermine the president and portray him as incompetent.  Of course, crooked asshats like Darrell Issa could care less about the important criminal cases that has been brought forth because of  “Operation Fast and Furious” that could be blown by releasing  sensitive information.  But then again, he is not about truth and justice.  He just wants a circus that makes Obama look bad.  Of course this charade is another waste of taxpayers money.   The midterm elections of 2010 have been a disaster for this country.

    Part of me is loving this ………… the liberal “bring it on” part.

    I’m as liberal as liberal can be, and I’m now just a worn out old man, but I’m still no pacifist!

    When backed into a corner with no other option I’ll fight like hell and I think Obama finally learned that lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!!
