No, I think it sets a bad precedent and opens up pandoras box for when the Dems have the House again.... But on the other hand, I don't know what the frick else they can do in order to get Holder/Justice Department to do their job.

Did Lerner wave her rights? I still don't know...

But she either needs to be held in contempt for not answering the questions or prosecuted (don't exactly know what charges would be) for what has happened with the targeting of certain groups.

Yeah - I'm pretty much in agreement with you. When there are shenanigans going on in the IRS - we need to get to the bottom of it. I don't care who is in charge.

I also don't know whether or not she waived her rights.

I just feel like arresting her at this point would backfire. GOP would look like a-holes no matter what.

Holder already opened Pandora's box. Republicans are justified in some pretty radical appointments in the future because of him.

You can't let organizations like the IRS target select groups just because they oppose the administration at the time. That can't go unchecked regardless of who is in the White House.

Republicans need to find their spine and do what is justified and necessary. Democrats should probably think ahead beyond the next election cycle and consider that this abuse of power may not be always geared toward entities that they despise.
