(CBS News) -- House Republicans investigating the Fast and Furious scandal
have gotten the go-ahead by their party leaders to pursue a contempt citation
against Attorney General Eric Holder, senior congressional aides told CBS News.
The resolution will accuse Holder and his Justice Department of obstructing the
congressional probe into the allegations that the government let thousands of
weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
The citation would attempt to force Holder to turn over tens of thousands of
pages documents related to the probe, which has entered its second year.
For months, congressional Republicans probing ATF's Fast and Furious
"Gunwalker" scandal - led by California Republican Darrell Issa, have been
investigating a contempt citation. They've worked quietly behind the scenes to
build support among fellow Republicans, since it could ultimately face a full
House vote. CBS News has confirmed that House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio
Republican, has given Rep. Issa, who heads the House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee, the go-ahead to proceed. A 48-page long draft contempt
resolution is being prepared.

Yes+9This man has allowed the Justice Department to become a political arm of the Obama administration enforcing only the laws he see fit to enforce while abrogating the laws he deems unfit without the consent of congress who legally set those laws in motion. He has defiled his Constitutional duties that he himself is sworn to uphold and impeachment seems to be the only solution to this disgusting problem.




















PS the coward (you) that started this blog and had his butt handed to him has blocked me. No reason for truth to get in the way of his lies.
Just because it's not unique to Holder (and Obama) doesn't make it less stupid or mean that the fobbers shouldn't be held accountable. If a similar plan had already failed, you could make a pretty good case for saying it shouldn't be recycled.

Whatever it was, it was weak sauce.
Here’s just a few of them they cite:
1. Expanded the pre-abortion waiting period requirement in certain states.
2. Mandated pre-abortion ultrasounds.
3. Mandated that counseling be provided in-person by a physician.
4. Mandated that abortion counseling include all the risk factors related to abortion
complications, even if the data are scientifically flawed.
5 Required health departments to develop new regulations governing abortion clinics.
6. Revised abortion refusal clauses to allow any hospital employee to refuse to
“participate in any way” in an abortion;
7. Limited abortion coverage in private health plans, including plans that will be offered
in the state’s health exchange.
8. Revised sex education laws to require all school districts to provide abstinence-only
sex education while permitting discussion of contraception only with prior approval
from the state.
9. 120 bills have been approved by at least one chamber of the legislature relating to
women’s insurance coverage or abortion rights.
10. 23 states introduced 57 measures that would restrict coverage of abortions in all
insurance plans.

NO one said FEDERAL republicans just REPUBLICANS
While I'm at it, let me remind you of the requirements in several states that a woman have a trans-vaginal probe (Texas, for one) prior to obtaining a LEGAL MEDICAL PROCEDURE.
no .......insurance covered contraception, the same way big boys like you can get covered anti floppy pills and creeping baldness medication covered. YOU actually dont have a clue at all about women do you.I hope you wear a condom every time you have sex, from now on, because you are a hypocrite
Get over the 'free' stuff; it's not. Even if you work for a company, you still pay something towards the premium. The days of complete employer coverage are gone. And you still pay for your prescriptions - it's called a co-pay.
