Thanks goodness for Louie Gohmert and Blake Farenthold.

The House needs to hold Holder accountable.

[Robert Teesdale]

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.

[b4its2late]

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.

“Thanks goodness for Louie Gohmert and Blake 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.

[isom35]

I would have said “I agree Blake, this guy should be in a cell behind bars”

[null and void]

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?

[Psalm 144]

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

[Aevery_Freeman]

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”.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Its about time these guys started to play hardball.

[The Great RJ]

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.

[henkster]

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.

[onedoug]

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

[12th_Monkey]

Damn!!

He’s right of course.

Did Boo-Boo holder have a reply or just sit their all smug.

[twyn1]

When I read this story, all I can think of is the song "Show Me" from "My Fair Lady"

Words, words, words!
I'm so sick of words
I get words all day through
First from him, now from you
Is that all you blighters can do?

[jeffc]

I’d like to know what Mr. Gowdy had to say after that!

[hosepipe]

Duuuugh.. if the top cop is corrupt justice does not exist..
Holder STOLE justice from the Department of Justice..
He embezzled justice......... the DOJ has an empty vault..

Merely because he’s a mullatto acting like he was black..
But that seems to be going around.. Kabuki blackness..

Many others are no blacker than they are white..
IF you have one white parent you’re NOT black..
When bastards rule....... the family unit is bastardized..

Is a Mullattocracy possible?...

[muir_redwoods]

I’d love to see the next constitutional president appoint an AG that would respond adorably to a request from Mexico the Holder be extradited to Mexico to answer charges related to F&F

[Chickensoup]

Wow we have some pitbulls in the House!

[353FMG]

All that Holder has to do is to apologize and take full responsibility for his action and all is forgiven and forgotten.

Is that not how the game is played in American politics?

[lonevoice]

God bless Texas.

[G Larry]

I hope Gowdy proceeded to kick Holder around the room as Gohmert did yesterday!
