But what happens? Even of Boehner does not find a way to sideline this and prevent a vote and even if Holder is held in contempt by the full House, doesn't the citation go to the DOJ to enforce? Can the Capitol Police arrest Holder? I suspect that the Obama Regime will just blow off the House and then Boehner would have to find some other means of motivating compliance, like withholding an Appropriation. But would he??

I would like to believe that Issa has timed this citation for exactly the point that you have made.

If Holder ignores a contempt of Congress citation, there is a Constitutional crisis...

...six months before the election.

If they blow off Congress, the only alternative I can think of is impeachment.
