Thanks goodness for Louie Gohmert and Blake Farenthold.
The House needs to hold Holder accountable.

It is a start.
I expect it to go nowhere.
How about, rather, proposing that any Senate-confirmed Federal official found in (criminal) Contempt of Congress be arrested by the Sergeant at Arms and held until brought before a Supreme Court habeus corpus hearing?
What, they're all too busy? What, it has too many unintended negative consequences and applications?
I'll see you Obamacare, and raise you a nation. Call.

Definitely. The House needs to hold the whole crew in the admin accountable because they only find out about stuff when the see it on CNN or read it in the Slimes. That was excellent of Farenthold.

I don't think that there is enough collective spine in the House to ever achieve that, at least not at the present time.

Is there any real reason why the Speaker of the House can’t have the Sargent at Arms arrest Mr. Holder and detain him until such a time as he decides to no longer be in contempt of Congress?

Well spoken, well grounded. I didn’t think simple dignity and integrity remained in fedgov anymore. Glad to be wrong this time.

But why did it have to be a guy that looks like Dorfman from “Animal House” and last name appears to be “Fart-en-hold”.

Yes. It would interfere with his plan to assist the criminality of the Democrats.
that is THE real reason.
He has the power. He does not use it. Those are the facts.

Holder's flippant “don't go their buddy” remark to Rep. Gohmert was despicable and shows what little regard he has for this country and our laws. Obama and his cronies are fascists who think that the people's representatives amount to nothing. I am holding my breathe that Obama doesn't declare himself dictator and end free elections before 2016.

Is there any real reason why the Speaker of the House cant have the Sargent at Arms arrest Mr. Holder and detain him until such a time as he decides to no longer be in contempt of Congress? I would expect that that would result in the appearance, at the location of the Congressional detention location, of large numbers of armed Federal Marshalls, in conjunction with a full team of FBI HRT operators.
The Capitol Police would - at that point - have to make a fight-flight decision.
Depending upon how they made that decision, at that moment... our Nation, as founded, could end. Right there, that very day.

Well stated. And he’s right. Conservatives need to call out the hypocrisy in this regime at every opportunity. He’s in contempt for violating a subpoena, but see what happens when Joe Schmoe tries to do that to the FBI. The IRS says it will take “years” to comply with the House requests for documents. Let’s see what happens when somebody says that to the IRS during an audit.
This regime is totally corrupt bunch of arrogant tyrannical hypocrites.

Why isn’t this holder SOB in jail? If Congress held me in contempt, that’s where I’d expect to be.

I would love to have seen the Capital police come in an frog march Holder off to jail until he coughs up those documents.
