There may be other steps, but I do not see that whimpering Boehner doing anything to upset his golf buddy. We sent them in in 2010 to stop him, and they have done nothing. They hold meaning hearing after hearing. The bluster for what few cameras they can get in front of. Then it all goes quiet again. We have had a border agent, an Ambassador, 20 plus Navy Seals, and Special Forces, and how many regular Soldiers because of his changed in the ROE’s, are now dead because of the direct incompetence, or actual malice of this administration, and NOBODY cares.
Those of us engaged enough to be on a website like FR make up about 1% of the population. The other 99% are more concerned with who’s on Dancing with the Stars this week.
The State media will only tell them what the glorious leader deems appropriate.
They can use a variety of methods to attack any conservative who appears to be a threat (see Sarah Palin or Gingrich); either by "journalistic front", or suppression/misquoting, picking a fight and setting them up by misquotes, or ridicule.
So the GOP has learned *never* to stick their necks out and resist.
Cheers!
