Were it a Republican senate, he would deserve impeachment and conviction.

He deserves impeachment no matter what.
The House impeaches; the Senate convicts. I expect a GOP senator to introduce the articles of impeachment any day now.

Right?

That explains exactly why I have no intention of voting for Romney no matter what. We don't need more RINO eunuchs anywhere near government.
Where are the house Tea Party Republicans?

Actually, impeachment would likely lead nowhere except for the Republicans to be pounded over the head by the MSM for being racists.

What *could* lead somewhere is what Issa is hoping to do, if Boehner gives his permission, which is to vote on Holder being in contempt of congress.

Importantly, COC is different, because it is limited to just one house of congress, in this case, the Republican House. The senate has no say in it at all.

If the House voted Holder in contempt, they could then appoint a special prosecutor against him, who would compile evidence to present before a federal grand jury.

This matters, because contempt itself has only petty punishments, but a special prosecutor could subpoena records far more effectively from the Just Us Department, and could prosecute criminally those individuals involved in the Guns ‘r’ Us scandal.
