From abcnews.com
Contempt of Congress
If the entire lower chamber votes against Holder, the possibility of impeachment arises.
But it’s complicated. If Congress wants to impeach Holder, it has to go through court, and through the Justice Department — the very agency Holder leads.
In that case, Holder could recuse himself because of an obvious conflict of interest.
“There’s some obscure possibilities here,” noted Frank Bowman, a University of Missouri law professor who has written about such legal matters.
An opinion written in the Office of Legal Counsel during the Reagan administration by Ted Olson, later a U.S. solicitor general, concluded that the Justice Department isn’t compelled to prosecute the attorney general because of the way the contempt statutes are written.
That could lead to a standoff between the agency and Republicans in Congress, noted Peter Shane, an expert of executive privilege at Ohio State
Later, the House will vote on a second civil contempt resolution, which authorizes the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to initiate or intervene in judicial proceedings to enforce its subpoena.
All the dems were running, cause Holder is gonna start pointing.
We can only hope he starts pointing to the top.Quote:

Clinton was fully impeached.....that really affected things a lot! These legal technicalities don't have a lot of impact on the daily lives of most Americans, including Holder.

Pelosi is the biggest cunt of them all
I'd love to tea bag that bitch
"To cry racism where none exists or when the truth becomes clearly offensive is to show the true color of one's ignorance."Quote:

~CNN's Tom Cohen, Terry Frieden, and Deirdre Walsh contributed to this report.~
If it turns out that F&F was intended to increase violence in Mexico, thereby fueling the anti gun agenda and act as fuel to destroy the second amendment it could very well be considered treason. Treason would be worthy of Gitmo.Quote:

What they can nail him on besides obstruction, withholding evidence, perjury and a few others is Federal Firearms violations and RICO. Not sure if Mexico can charge him.
Good!
Now it will be interesting what the big "O" does regarding EH.
It'll take the gop 3 years to try his ass.
They love him. Probably give him a mansion on the beach and asyllum.Quote:

Does the war on drugs count?
Pretty well describes this entire administration........[Bang]Quote:

This as well.Quote:
With members of the Congressional Black Caucus leading the way, more than 100 Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader, quietly left the House chamber during the voting. They gathered in a circle on the lawn outside the Capitol for a news conference.
“We are nonparticipants in what we believe to be a calamity,” said Representative Emanuel Cleaver II, Democrat of Missouri and chairman of the black caucus. “This is a terrible day for the House of Representatives. We did not want to participate in something that had some kind of a smell to it.”
Representative Charlie Gonzalez, Democrat of Texas and chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said: “We stand united. We understand that Congress has the right to conduct oversight — this is not about the right of Congress to perform oversight. This is about the responsibility and duty of Congress to do it in a way that is fair and just.”
From HuffPost: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1635702.htmlQuote:
In a Facebook message before the vote, Representative Allen B. West, a Florida Republican who has been at odds before with the black caucus, accused caucus members “and other liberal members of Congress” of judging Mr. Holder “by the color of his skin, and not by the content of his character.”
Quote:
Caucus leaders circulated a letter to Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday night urging them to leave the House floor when the vote comes up. The letter, which was obtained by The Huffington Post, was sent to members of the Hispanic Caucus, the Progressive Caucus, the Asian Pacific American Caucus and others.
I doubt it will go this far ......
but I bet Eric would look fabulous in Prison Jumpsuit orange. [Beer]
