I was listening to Levin last night, and he mentioned that he has had success in taking rogue agencies to court. As an example, he sued the EPA at the end of the Clinton regime, forcing them to refrain from destroying computerized records, in a situation analogous to the IRS scandal.

The difference there is that Levin wasn't taking legal action against these rogue agencies on behalf of CONGRESS. LOL.

I'll have to listen to him again, but can't they do both?

As far as I can tell, their options are:

1) Hold ineffectual hearings.
2) Take them to court (per Mark. OK, I don't understand how this works.)
3) Appoint a special prosecutor, which Holder will never do.
4) Defund agencies, i.e., resulting in a "scary" gov't shutdown.

It seems like 2 & 4 are the only effective means at their disposal. They're chicken sh--, so they won't do 4. So all that's left is option 2.
