It'll take the gop 3 years to try his ass.

Treason charges can only be levied in a state of declared war IIRC and only for rendering aid or shelter to the enemy.
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.

They love him. Probably give him a mansion on the beach and asyllum.

"Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given"

Does the war on drugs count?

"A large number of Democrats -- including members of the Congressional Black Caucus and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi -- walked off the House floor in protest and refused to participate in the criminal contempt vote. A slightly smaller number of Democrats appeared to boycott the vote on the civil measure as well."

~CNN's Tom Cohen, Terry Frieden, and Deirdre Walsh contributed to this report.~

It was the CBC, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and either the Asian or Pacific Islander one. It was on CSPAN.

From the NY times Blog page: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2...contempt-vote/

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.”

This as well.

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.”

From HuffPost: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1635702.html

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.
