He’s stonewalling to make it through November and he knows Romney doesn’t have the balls to investigate once/if he wins.

Go for the contempt vote Darryl! You’ve been more than reasonable and you have the backing of the people.

DOJ didn't produce documents #fastandfurious

These people in Congress work for us and they had better start earning their wages.

WE demand those documents or the pulling of the plug on our head attorney!

Washington is turning into a joke since 0bama and we the people need to get our government back!

1. Treasury Secretary is a tax-evader

2. Atty General exports machine-guns to drug-dealers

3. POTUS is a bisexual muslim from Kenya who consorted with terrorists

Very complete picture.

Holder seems to have gotten himself into a little problem. Turn over documents show he lied, don’t turn them over and he could be held in contempt (if Republican have any guts left).

I remember the TIME magazine cover accusing the Nixon administration of stonewalling during Watergate.

I bet TIME doesn't do it this time......

Holder only agreed to meet with Issa to say he’s going to need another five months to get the documents together.

“While the law pronounces the duty of the U.S. Attorney is to impanel a grand jury for its action on the matter, some proponents of the unitary executive theory believe that the Congress cannot properly compel the U.S. Attorney to take this action against the Executive Branch, asserting that the U.S. Attorney is a member of the Executive Branch who ultimately reports only to the President and that compelling the Attorney amounts to compelling the President himself. They believe that to allow Congress to force the President to take action against a subordinate following his directives would be a violation of the separation of powers and infringe on the power of the Executive branch. The legal basis for this belief, they contend, can be found in Federalist 49, in which James Madison wrote ““The several departments being perfectly co-ordinate by the terms of their common commission, none of them, it is evident, can pretend to an exclusive or superior right of settling the boundaries between their respective powers.” This approach to government is commonly known as “departmentalism” or “coordinate construction”” Wikipedia

Can we believe this 50th threat to hold contempt vote....or will we simply live through the 51st, 52nd, 53rd,......If you step across this line in the sand.....I will....well, I'll,....you know...I'll draw another line in the sand. There, take that. And......while we are at it....no hitting on my right shoulder,..I have bursitis.....lets get all of these rules agreed to....

It reminds me of Cliff Claven on Cheers when he and the psychiatrist were going to fight....but FIRST,....they spent 6 hours exhausting themselves on declaring the rules. Grown men either mean what they say or they are not respected. In this case Holder runs to the microphone and camera and begins to defecate on Issa. There can be no reasonable explaination for republicans to set themselves up as feckless, nutless dupes.

Mr. Issa say what you mean or shut up. You only make youself a characature of vapidity.
