Judge denies Holder's request to delay release of Fast and Furious documents

Has to turn over documents that he refused to, that resulted in him being in contempt, his resignation... today is turning out to be a very good day.
U.S. District Court Judge John D. Bates has denied a request from the Department of Justice to delay the release of a list of Operation Fast and Furious documents being protected under President Obama's assertion of executive privilege.
The list, better known as a Vaughn index, was requested through a June 2012 FOIA filing by government watchdog Judicial Watch. When DOJ didn't respond to the FOIA request in the time required by law, Judicial Watch sued in September 2012, seeking all documents DOJ and the White House are withholding from Congress under executive privilege claims. President Obama made the assertion on June 20, 2012 just moments before Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt.

"The government argues that it must devote significant numbers of attorneys to this matter if it hopes to comply with the current Vaughn index deadline ... But the Department has known about its Vaughn index obligations since July 18, 2014 ... At best, it means the Department has been slow to react to this Court’s previous Order. At worst, it means the Department has ignored that Order until now," he added.

The US DOJ is as badly run as the IRS.

This is the law of the land, Mr Holder.

I wonder if his hard drive will crash?

Maybe this is why he's resigning

Oops! Hard-drive crashed. All documents lost. Sorry.

A little faith restored in our constitutional system of checks and balances.
Bullying might not win the day after all, Mr. Obama.

Agreed.....or at the very least, turned a blind eye.
