[HairOfTheDog]

Not a fucking crime.

I think in a few years, whatever did and didn't go down behind the scenes (in terms of the DOJ and White house strategy for dealing with Congress) will likely be revealed. There's not gonna be any criminal action against Holder. If civil action is pursued, it will take forever. Imo, the F&F scandal reached its public awareness peak in the last two weeks and is going to fade out quickly as other issues move to the forefront.

Obama had a damn good week; he may be doing the Happy Dance.

-The USSC shot down much of Arizona's immigration law in favor of federal governance.

-The USSC upheld Obama's Health Care law and ruled the individual coverage mandate constitutional.

-While Holder was charged with contempt by the House, the Justice pretty much just said, "whatever" and there's a fair amount of suspicion that it's just Republican maneuvering against Democrats.

I keep wondering if the first two points will actually help Romney; wondering how many undecided voters want tougher immigration law enforcement (state or fed) and how many object to mandated health care as a tax and/or an infringement of individual choice. The October debates will make for a good showdown on some important issues other than just the economy, imo.
