Issa. Has been there six months now. What has he accomplished with his many "investigations?" Even of the gunrunner atrocity? Is he just an endless "Judicial Watch" on a gubmint expense account?

He is keeping pressure on these bastards at every turn. Throw enough against the wall, somebody is going to crack. I applaud Issa for his efforts.

What has he accomplished with his many "investigations?"

He's shedding light. He is a committee chairman. He can only investigate and then write reports and propose legislation. He has no power to prosecute. We have to wait for Sarah Palin's justice department.

Yes. Lets stay with Gun Runner . That's a big steak to chew on . It was a huge provable blunder. Worrying about fuel standards decades out is just stupid .

[Kaslin]

You are expecting immediate results? *rme*

As with all of this wrangling, and as was pointed out carefully last November, the republicans control only the House.

They cannot make anyone do anything. Even their power of originating revenue bills does not enable them to force the hand of the senate or the potus.

They should use the powers that they do have in the cause of justice and fiscal sanity, but anyone who ignores that they are only 1/3 of the legislative process is ignoring the Constitution. And we are supposed to be constitutional conservatives.
