With this Congress, being in contempt means nothing

[Enrique]

their approval rating is 8%. The whole country is in contempt of this Congress.

I don't know if Holder did anything wrong, but the fact that Congress took this action means zero to me, and I imagine that's a widespread feeling. Take him to court, if a judge says he broke the law then ok, until then who cares.

1. Isn't being held in contempt by a contemptible congress a net plus? n/t

[JoePhilly]

2. YUP ... most Americans already hold Congress in Contempt.

Doesn't seem to matter to them.

3. It's not going anywhere but I'm still pissed

One day Dems will learn to lock up the criminals - big mistake

[HarveyDarkey]

4. I've been in contempt of this congress for a long time

including many of the D's who inhabit it.

5. I wish Pres. Obama would ask former AG to come forward

and appear before the kangaroos. It all began on his watch and maybe, just maybe, the House Reptilians will shut up. It would turn the table on them.

6. They have contempt for us!

[BumRushDaShow]

7. I doubt the average person even knows what the hell this is about

They'll see the term "Fast and Furious" and immediately think this -

8. Thanks to a 2007 Congressional report dealing with executive privileges withholding documents in

the Harriet Meirs supreme court debacle, with the President's (first) use of executive privileges, nothing will happen to Mr. Holder. The information is protected under executive privilege, past practice suggests that the Department of Justice will not pursue a prosecution.
