Yeah, congress has evidently never heard the phrase "turn about is fair play".

I wouldn't get too excited. The BHO administration's standard response to this sort of thing is to ignore it.
The Constitution and the Rule of Law only applies to them when it benefits their agenda.
What can Congress do, send the Marines to drag the AG out in handcuffs?

I think congress should ignore Holder along with Fast and Furious and delve into some real issues like steroid use by MLB players.

Holder doing a perp-walk. What a pleasant mental image... Never happen.

Reference to Roger Clements being prosecuted for lying to congress. Prosecuted for lying to the biggest bunch of liars ever to open their mouths. Yes they are going after Holder which I approve highly, but more often than not, congressional investigations are for show.

We will see how far this goes. Holder and his thugs deserve jail time.

Thanks, I thought it might be another one of those new online games. I don't watch baseball, considering it one step above golf, which is a waste of grass.

Means nothing. So Con-gress holds him in contempt. My guess is the feeling is mutual.

Con-gress can't arrest him or put him on trial.

The relevant wikipedia article suggests otherwise, but it also has a [citation needed] for the relevant passage.
