Fast And Furious Update

This blog has been commenting on the illegal sales of guns last year by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to Mexican drug cartels resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican citizens and at least two US Border Patrol agents.  Involved in this scheme, it seems, were members of the DEA, ATF, FBI, ICE and DHS.  To this date, not one member of any of these organizations has been fired for this illegal act.

A congressional investigation has been stonewalled for over a year by Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States and Obama's right hand man.

In a House vote yesterday on an amendment, 142 Democrat Congressmen, joined Republicans in a vote of 381-41 demanding Holder to stop lying to Congress. (The 41 negative votes were all issued by Democrats.)


Included in the amendment was an order preventing Obama's Department of Justice from suing states for voter I.D. laws among other issues included in the amendment.


With a Harry Reid controlled Senate this amendment will have two chances of passing: slim and none.


However, it does show that even some Democrat lawmakers have had it with Holder and his racist Department of Justice.


One can always hope...
