By the way, the guns used in the Connecticut school shooting were already illegal. Yet, somehow - was it magic? - they were still used in a horrendous crime. Oh, and having weapons at a school is also illegal, but that didn’t stop him either. Turns out that having sorcerers proclaim “You shall not pass!” won’t actually prevent people from doing what horrible deeds they want to do. Damn it, Lord of the Rings, you lied to me again.

Attorney General Eric Holder placed in Contempt of Congress over Fast and Furious Subpoena
From The Hill:
A House panel voted Wednesday to place Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to comply with a subpoena, defying an assertion of executive privilege from President Obama.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, led by Republican Chairman Darrell Issa (Calif.), approved a resolution along party lines to place Holder in contempt after battling him for months over access to internal agency documents about the gun-tracking operation Fast and Furious.
The vote came after Obama escalated the conflict by sending a letter to the committee claiming executive privilege over the documents that the panel had sought.
All 23 Republicans on the committee voted for the contempt resolution, while all 17 Democrats voted against it. Every member of the panel was present for the vote.
