This is not even good political theatre. If they were serious about doing anything about F and F, they would be pursuing impeachment.
Its not about getting rid of Holder. Its about convincing the conservative rubes back home that they’re doing “something” to hold him accountable. It would be laughable if good people hadn’t died as a result.
As it is it's solidified my contempt for the Republican Party. In my political lifetime they've never even attempted to pursue their party-planks. They get a whole lot of undeserved credit for the Assault Weapons Ban, which had a sunset clause... IOW, people congratulate them for doing nothing as if it were something. For most of G. W. Bush's term we had the Executive and the legislative, and tell me: how many times was overturning Roe v. Wade put out, even as a token gesture? Oh, right it wasn't, because it would be 'political' and "drive people from the party" (despite the general abortion-approval numbers getting pretty bad) When was the last time they seriously pushed for some responsibility with finances? Oh, right, Rand Paul... and then the party kinda told him "go sit in the corner while we play ball with the big boys."
And then they nominate Romney. Romney! Mr The-only-way-to-elect-me-is-if-everybody-hates-Obama-and-even-then-its-iffy is who they anoint?
