Is this the precursor to impeachment?

[Marathoner]

About damn time. This petty dictator must be stopped.

[cubreporter]

Amen to that. Make whomever is responsible for this man’s death pay!!!

Each member of the House should take up a specific “cause” and address the illegality of this administration. Non-stop.

This is Obama’s major scandal of his administration. The pressholes are doing a masterful job of keeping it quiet and covering it indirectly.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think I’m ahead of the curve on this one. If you know what I mean ...

[sport]

And hell may freeze over. If I was a betting man, my money would be on hell freezing over first.

Hearings are a good place to start.

I think the Obama administration contempt reaches further than that of Congress: I think he’s guilty of contempt of America, the U. S. Constitution, and the American people.

[Peter from Rutland]

I’m listening to yesterdays hearing right now. Holder is screwed. Once he falls the entire firewall protecting Obama is down and all hell will break loose.

Pray it happens.

These guys are dreaming, I don’t believe we’ll ever see any idiot of this administration held responsible for any wrong doing. Proof? Name me a Republican that will begin investigative procedures for crimes and misdemeanors committed by any person in this administration.

I realize we’re talking Supreme Court here but where’s this Court’s track record?

I WANT to be wrong in this, believe me.

Legally, the executive branch can decline providing the Congressional Oversight Committees with requested documentation only when the President invokes a Privilege Law, which shields the release of certain information.

So Barry is jerking our chain, and when he gets bored with this, he'll invoke the privilege.

Yes, and it's actually pretty simple to describe for the majority of the populace - no really complex issues involved...:^)

They're too busy analyzing the separation of church and state constitutional violation evident in Sarah Palin's Trig is a gift from God email. After all, she was governor at the time...

[WOBBLY BOB]

I already hold them all in contempt.

[Don Corleone]

Is this the precursor to impeachment?

From your mouth to God's ears.

[Darnright]

Wow, it took them long enough. Now, how about you yahoos in Congress doing something to defund the EPA before every coal plant in the nation is taken off line and we all end up in the dark?

[kidd]

So what happens after a charge of contempt is issued?

It would just be another document that the Holder DOJ wipes it’s butt with.
