Washington – A House committee has voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over Justice Department documents.

The straight party-line vote was 23-17.
The vote followed a decision by President Barack Obama earlier in the day to assert executive privilege for the first time in his administration in order to protect the confidentiality of the documents.
It’s about time he is held accountable for something.
President Barack Richard Millhouse Nixon Obama is in big trouble (he would be if the press actually did its job).
He is accountable that you are safe in this country and someone in your family is mooching off the federal government and probably some of your relatives sitting in holy institutions in the hoy land protected by arms sent by the “He”. The “He ” is a fine President and better educated than you or do0 have a Harvard graduate in your Mayflower crowd
I’m going to go ahead and theorize that Mr.Holder’s problems are just starting and he will eventually “crash and burn”.
I had a feeling that he will suffer, sooner or later, for his callousness in the obvious miscarriage of justice regarding S.M. Rubashkin.
(And maybe other miscarriages as well. Especially Yidden, as they are Hashem’s chosen ones.)
I’m just saying…
This issue will probably split along party lines. Pres Obama isn’t abusing Executive Privilege: this has been going on for 60 years. Congress began to cede its co-equal authority to the President going back to the the 1950s. More and more things have fallen under that umbrella of “executive authority.”
The only thing that will restrain the Republicans is their fear that if they put anything into law or precedent, it will come back and bit them when the party is in the White House.
if the press was honest they would be asking for an enquiry of obama
reply to 3 If the Howard degree is what matter’s for u, and this is what makes a person great then you have a very limited vision
Eric WITHHolder is the most incompetent AG in US history.
Perhaps the technicality of the situation is that the President has this privilege. But we’d be foolish not to ask, “What is he hiding?” If documents have to be quashed so that our elected representatives of the Legislative branch of government can’t have them for their investigation, something stinks in Denmark. (Apologies to Denmark.)
