The resolution explains that the Obama administration and the Department of Justice, “through Attorney General Holder’s office, initially provided false information to Congress,” “retaliated” against whistle-blowers who provided Congress with information, “has redacted key information and has been intransigent, obstructionist and obdurate.”
The “no confidence” resolution is a largely symbolic measure but is nonetheless a more official move than statements from members calling for Holder’s resignation. It includes a breakdown of everything those in favor of the “no confidence” resolution allege Holder to have done to earn it. A floor vote isn’t likely to happen any time soon, unless Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor — or another member of leadership — gets on board soon.

So in other words he spends his time doing something that will never happen instead of doing what we sent him there for which is to work on jobs and things that can help his constituents. He is worthless. Vote him out next election and get someone in there that will actually do something besides fund raisers and pamper up to those he supposedly was fed up with.
No way Billy understands what any of this is about.
i want to spnser the same bill for bumkin billy and roy blunt
Having worked with some remarkably fine GOP pols in the past, I want to point out that Billy is NOT one of them. He is a bloated toad of a know-nothing, taking the office for the prestige of it, but the rank of Dog-Patch will never wash off this guy.
Throw the bum out! Let him keep his guns and his Rebel Flags and his homophobic and misanthropic bawdy humor, but just get him off the public stage. Thanks.
What an embarrassment!
