Congress has lost confidence in the Attorney General of the United States ....................................................................................................... Arizona Congressman Files ‘No Confidence’ Resolution Against Holder 12-14-2011 by John Hill Stand With Arizona standwitharizona.com Arizona Republican Rep. Paul Gosar has filed a resolution in the House of Representatives pushing for vote of “no confidence” in Attorney General Eric Holder. The resolution is a formal way to exhibit congressional disdain for Holder as the investigation into "Operation Fast and Furious" proceeds. It would also be an initial step toward some House Republicans’ plan to formally remove him from office if he won’t resign. The resolution, officially numbered H. Res. 490, states that “it is the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress has lost confidence in the Attorney General of the United States.” In a statement, Gosar denounced Holder’s continued refusal to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas and other official congressional requests for information. Gosar had previous said Holder and other top Justice officials could conceivably be cast as “ accessories to murder” over the roles in Fast and Furious. There are currently 57 House members and two members of the Senate demanding Holder’s resignation, along with four GOP presidential candidates and two sitting governors. Many of those in Congress who have called for Holder’s ouster have also signed on to Gosar’s resolution. The support for Holder’s resignation today far outweighs the support for the resignation of George W. Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez in 2007. Gonzalez eventually resigned. A floor vote on Rep. Gosar’s resolution will only happen if House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, House Speaker John Boehner or another member of the GOP House leadership gets behind it.
