Excellent. Judicial contempt has actual consequences like arrest and jail until the subpoena is complied with.

So, the remote from NBC news references “House republicans” but should it not actually have been the House Oversight Committee that is taking the actions?

Agreed, I'd like to see Holder spend some time in the gray bar hotel.

Its ridiculous when you think Congress must use the courts to settle this.
Congress, the body we people elected to represent us, should be the authority that strips this guy to the bone. They should not be dependent upon the courts to get things done to an unelected bureacrat.
Only because we have a lawless administration is the reason for having to do this.

“Excellent. Judicial contempt has actual consequences like arrest and jail until the subpoena is complied with.”
Goal for the GOP should be to make Holder’s and any allies lives as miserable as possible through the election. This way they cannot focus their energies on stealing the election for Obama.

This corrupt slow system is something to puke about. Government criminals never get caught, and if caught nothing much happens to the bastar!s that their corruption have killed or damaged Americans beyond repair.
To: jazusamo
I wonder if this will even get past the “Strongly worded letter” stage???

You are so right. When corruption is being investigated the wheels turn super slow but when the majority are trying to shove something down the peoples throat that same system can move at lightning speed, such as the obamacare bill.

And it took corruption and arm twisting to make obamacare a slight majority. I think something like 70% of the American people want it repealed, too.

Let’s not hear anymore until this puke is in handcuffs. Since nothing close to that will ever happen in this banana republic start planning to exit this country if Big Ears wins another term.

Interesting. I don't think there is any judge that can say a subpoena from Congress can be legally ignored. They would be disbarred.

Because the administration has been so good about complying with court orders so far?

Correct, there was much corruption in getting it passed.
I'll remember Pelousi to my dying day saying they have to pass it to find out what's in it.

I disagree. The Framers got it right when they limited the judicial sort of Congressional proceedings to the impeachment power. Aside from that, all judicial power under the Constitution resides with Scotus and other federal courts created by Congress.
Extra judicial actions by Congress (beyond impeachment) smacks of attainder, i.e. legislative punishment, which is prohibited by the Constitution.

Good, I was hoping this would re-surface. I was afraid it was to just fade away. Go get him!

And they can start impeachment proceedings on Obama now for illegally restructuring a loan guarantee to his crony at Solyndra.

GOP prepares to file lawsuit against HolderIf the Republicans hold the House and take the Senate in November, then look for the House to Impeach Holder and schedule a trial in the Senate in February '13. Then Holder will resign even if the new President doesn't fire him earlier. How would the line, "Impeached for Curruption" look on Holder's resume? What a disgrace to the office and to the country. Can't wait.
