The NRA is going to score the contempt vote

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing- ... -on-holder

I don't know that any of the democrats in the committee have a NRA rating that will go down because of their contempt vote but there are plenty in the full House of Reps.

Well that article was interesting.

Napolitano concluded, “If the president was not personally involved, executive privilege doesn’t apply. If the president was personally involved, and they want to argue that fighting drug gangs at the border is a matter of sensitive national security, then they at least have an argument for executive privilege but that would be at odds with what Attorney General Holder has already testified to under oath.”

According to Judge Napolitano if Executive Privilege applies then Attorney General Holder lied to congress. (Who is Roger Clements?)

I think the drip-drip-drip of disclosure is better than getting it all over with at once.

If Holder had said that it was his fault and resigned when this first came out, it wouldn't have affected the upcoming presidential election.
Hopefully it will get resolved just in time for 0bama to have to explain in time to loose a few more votes.

earlier this month, I said:

The drip-drip-drip of news stories on Holder and fast & furious gun running continues.

I stand by my prediction that the drips will continue until the November 6th election or Holder resigns and that he will never be convicted of Contempt because of the Democrat controlled Senate.

I now believe I was mistaken.
The senate does not prosecute contempt of congress. The justice department prosecutes it.

That would be interesting.

If the House charges Holder with Contempt of Congress, then Holder will have to prosecute.

Just another observation:
Charles Krauthammer commented yesterday that the Fast & Furious scandal will not cost Obama any votes. Folks that care about guns aren't going to vote for him anyway.

The drip-drip-drip of news stories on Holder and fast & furious gun running continues.

I stand by my prediction that the drips will continue until the November 6th election or Holder resigns and that he will never be convicted of Contempt because of the Democrat controlled Senate.

I agree with Oldgringo
You're being too kind in your opinion of Eric Holder.

Here's to 1/20/2013 when "Anybody but Obama" takes over the Oval Office.

I am trying to be kind to the Republicans in the house.

They aren't impeaching Holder or holding him in contempt because either action would fail in the Democrat held senate.

AND

They want the lying and stalling to continue until November 6th. So it will be an issue for Pro-Gun folks to consider in the election.

I am willing to read Fast and Furious news stories from now until Holder (and Obama) leave office.
Your mileage may vary.
