Good Lord what are these people hiding?

Likely that it was all planned from the top. One intriguing, and devious, conspiracy theory has it that the goal of F&F was not another Assault Weapon ban, primarily, but instead was the destabilization and encouragement of civil war in Mexico which would in turn allow for all illegal Mexicans in the US to be declared refugees and thereby getting around the political taint of another actual amnesty. (That it could have generated another AWB in that case would have been a secondary benefit.)

Obama is refusing to enforce laws. What is happening to our country?

Simply put, if the laws were enforced as written a lot of public official would be in prison. This very much includes judges.
What you are seeing, especially with the Obamacare ruling, is that things are now decided to be legit by the very Powers That Be after the fact. That is, now what was illegal can be declared legal, and legal declared illegal at whim.
IOW, "The law is what we say it is!"

The ultimate decision on whether to prosecute will be made by the individual President Romney appoints as Attorney General.

Does Congress take an oath of office? They passed a law that was unconstitutional.

He's got to stay within the precincts of Congress, which is essentially Capitol Hill and Congressional field offices.

A portable "cell" is available from a number of sources ~ just rent one.

And if Holder won't come over invite Cole for a visit!

.

Nothing unusual about this refusal to prosecute, it’s SOP.

That’s why contempt votes lead to civil trials.

The Senate is not likely to work with them on the matter. On the other hand there’s nothing stopping the House from detaining Senators who stray into the House side of the Capitol building. After they get enough of them hogtied and sitting around awaiting their turn at the one portapotty in the portable cell, the remaining Senators will be much more willing to boldly go where no Senate has gone before.

I’m afraid you are right.

A strongly worded letter is about all they have the courage to muster up.

Yet more proof ladies & gentlemen that the DoJ is dirty from the AG down to the newest recruit class is dirty & in need of a housecleaning that will make one of Joseph Stalin’s legendary purges look like a bunch of Sunday school kindergartners singing Jesus Loves Me.

Anyone having dealings with Federal leo’s you have been warned when dealing with Fed leo’s you are more than likely dealing with a dirty cop.

Eric "With" Holder is a radical black bigot who heads the Injustice Department. Whether it is dropping charges against the Black Panther Party intimidating voters or forcing gun dealers to make illegal sales to gunwalkers so as it instigate naroterrorist violence in Mexico to attack US gun dealers and "lax" gun laws, this crumb bum HAS TO GO.

Lock him up in the cell they wanted to put Roger Clemens in. Or is lying to Congress only a BFD (as Biden would say) when it is about possible steroid use in a private sports franchise?

He must be guilty if he has to hide from the truth.

The same with Justice Roberts running away to Malta.

The Republicans should just cut their funding off and have the Rep Senators stop all judicial appointments until they either cooperate or turn over the documents. Play hardball!If they don’t whats to stop any AG from even testifying before congress.

No surprise here. What did you expect to happen from the offices Holder runs?

Why just yesterday the Congressional Black Caucus called this a racial witch hunt and half of the white Democrats walked out with them. Pretty much says that Nancy , Steny and others are in on the charade.Democrats are owned by the racial black vote, and Republicans are frightened by it.

Between Racists and Homosexuals the Congress is deaf to the needs of any other Americans.
