Unprecedented -never in history has the House voted for Contempt of Congress after a President

[malaise]

invoked Executive Privilege.

Fuck you racist scumbag ReTHUGs
They should have thrown Issa's ass in prison in 1982 after that suspicious fire.

1. Apparently

Having an R after your name means you automatically get your ass kissed by those on the right AND the left. The right because they support it, and the left because they can't bring themselves to be as political as they should be, despite being fuggin politicians.

2. As my granny used to say hang out with dogs and

catch fleas - Dems should have thrown all the criminals in prison since 2009.

3. Amen

I can't fathom why this dude has had free reign as AG. He has no courage unless he's going after grannies with medical marijuana.

4. ...or as Rachel says, "IOKIYAR" n/t

5. Didn't Holder ask, publicly, for Obama to declare EP?

Offhand, I don't remember anybody else, when subpoenaed, asking to have his ass covered.
(And, yes, that really is what it looks like. That would tick me off, too.)

I remember lots of discussion about EP under *, Clinton, Bush I, and I think I remember EP being invoked more than a couple of times, but not at the formal public request of the person subpoenaed.

Private requests, perhaps they're frequent.

10. I agree, it looks bad

Holder asking for it publicly and then getting it looks bad, not the EP declaration itself.

6. Totally agree

This was to undermine the legitimacy of this President. This has nothing to do with policy. They personally hate this man, it goes deeper.

7. They will have their little hate fest

then tell us they aren't racists.

Everyone knows their script.

9. You know the difference between me and most Dems

I'd bring up the story of the injured fireman in that suspicious fire
