made by the Department of Homeland Security. Chuck Young, a spokesman
for GAO, says the investigation of the purchases is "just getting

Thomas Sowell: Shouting Louder
Volume is a poor substitute for substance. An old-time trial lawyer once said, "When your case is weak, shout louder!" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shouted louder when asked about the Obama administration's story last fall that the September 11th attack on the U.S. ambassador's quarters in Benghazi was due to an anti-Islamic video ...

Black Caucus circles the wagons around Holder.

David Limbaugh: An Arrogant And Lawless Cover-Up
What is it that needs executive privilege protection? Few principles are more important to our constitutional scheme than the separation of powers, which is precisely why President Obama's bogus assertion of executive privilege to thwart Congress' investigation into Fast and Furious is so inexcusable.

Heavy-handed feds get payback from state.
