Eric Holder Contempt Resolution Released

After the House Oversight Committee found Eric Holder in contempt of Congress this past week, it now goes to the full House for a vote next week. That resolution was released late last night. Unlike Obamacare, it's very short.

Via the Resolution:
"Resolved, That Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General of the United States, shall be found to be in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a congressional subpoena.

"Resolved, That pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 192 and 194, the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall certify the report of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, detailing the refusal of Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice, to produce documents to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as directed by subpoena, to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, to the end that Mr. Holder be proceeded against in the manner and form provided by law.

"Resolved, That the Speaker of the House shall otherwise take all appropriate action to enforce the subpoena."
If you think the mainstream media was forced to cover Fast and Furious last week, when Obama asserted Executive Privilege, just wait and see what happens if the full House finds Holder in contempt of Congress.
