It is unacceptable but then again look who is landing the pack. That group has not done anything acceptable in a long time.

I believe that it is as CHILDISH and WRONG as when the GOP did it!!!

It's high time that the American taxpayers put their feet down and do whatever is necessary to RETAKE the power from the government that our founding fathers granted us through the Constitution!!!

We should start by forcing our elected officials to pass a law requiring a $50,000 FINE for ANY politician that walks out of Congress in protest!!! While we ALL have the same First Amendment rights, as an elected official, their First Amendment "right" should NOT permit their refusal to do the job they were elected to do(VOTE on issues) by staging a "walkout"!!! There are MANY ways for an elected official to dissent, however, when they stage a "walkout" it becomes malfeasance of office, and EVERY participating member should be tried by a jury for it!!!

We DESPERATELY need to put ALL politicians in their PLACE and let them know that while THEY consider themselves our "leaders", they are NOT!!! They were elected to SERVE us, they are NOTHING more than our "GOPHERS"!!!

They constitutionally have that power, just as you constitutionally have the right to bitch about their constitutional rights. Which doesn't make much sense, but hey, it's constitutional.

Constitutionally.

No one is arguing whether it is Constitutional or not. The question was . . . . . . . Was this acceptable or unacceptable behavior in your opinion?

Criminals have no ethics and these people in the public sector who rape and rob the taxpayers to these levels are pure and complete criminals who should be prosecuted and put into jail...there not one person in the public sector that has not been part of the millionaire pension fraud, the over staffing and compensation and collusion between their friends and massive bribery...these people are what is killing America today...

LOL !!!!! Ever heard of Herman Cain or Clarence Thomas or JC Watts; it's not the color of their skin, it's the content of their heads. Black socialist Democrats are just as dumb as white socialist Democrats. There used to be Blue Dog Democrats with some sense but the socialists & communists shoved them out I guess.

This is Total Disregard for the family of slain border agent Brian Terry. This cowardly act of walking out and 0bama's executive previledge makes one wonder what these snakes are hiding? All these A-holes are doing is trying to cover for one (or more) of their own. Shame on these slime bucketts.

What wasn't acceptable were the trumped up charges against the AG! Issa stated several times that he has NO EVIDENCE for such a thing! That's the reason he's not pressing criminal charges...HE HAS NOTHING, but an agenda! Political theater!

I'm going looking for the names of those Democrats (DINO's), that voted with the clowns! I will support ANY Democrat that will run against those gutless #@&%< idiots!

Why cover it up if not thing is there? Why WH bother to invoke executive previledge? What are the remainder documents that Holder was willing to "brief" Issa of content but wouldn't allow congress to have???

Dubya evoked executive privilege 6 times....wgat was HE covering up?? There are some "facts" that cannot be out where the public can get to them because they can cost informants or other cooperatives their lives! Issa is not too stupid to know that, he just doesn't give a damn! Still, I wouldn't trust a man who would pull this crap with ANY sensitive information!

Bush's WH staff was the target, in this case, Oblamer stated that there was "no WH staff "involvement!

See the differences? Executive privileges are for communication related to the president, not what's going on at the cabinet level staff although Dem talking points may be successful fooling fools:)
