No, I guess it's just priorities. It seems to me that we have problems and issues facing the country that are a whole lot more important than any of the stuff Eric Holder is involved in. Chances are he won't be AG for more than another fifteen months, so why waste time and energy addressing his 'issues'.

Because impeachable offenses are not merely "issues" (or "matters"). They are crimes.

We have more pressing problems with this administration than the possible complicity of the U.S. Attorney General in the murder of a U.S. Border Agent?
Really? Sorry, I don't agree with your assessment.

The chances of this country dealing with the problems that face us are precisely zero so long as the Senate refuses to bring to a vote ANY budget much less those passed by the House as the Constitution requires. This administration has repeatedly ignored the rule of law, not only in the Holder case, but in Libya, health care, EPA regulation, etc. They believe that there are no limits to the power of the Presidency ao long as suits the radical left agenda.

The best thing the house can do is to try to check the abuses of this administration and refuse this latest 'stimulus' package. The administration and the Senate have shown they are afraid to allow a vote on capping government spending, a balanced budget amendment and a comprehensive government budget (the Ryan plan).

Let's stop this silliness of blaming both parties and say clearly it is time we see a budget from the Democrat controlled Senate and the posturing President.

I agree. I am tired of the apologists.
