A complaint has been filed in Washington to have Attorney General Eric Holder disbarred due to his being held in contempt of Congress over Operation Fast and Furious.

That raises an intriguing question; if Holder is disbarred, can he still be the ATTORNEY General?
Even if so, what would we call him, simply the General?
Of course, we can always restore his bars, can't we?

Excellent news about a compliant filed against Holder. I wonder what "Executive order" will be used by Obama in this situation?

Although the rumblings about impeachment never really took off much and have essentially died out, I do believe Holder is also subject to that process.
As was the case with Bill Clinton (and the O.J. Simpson jury, for that matter), a Democratically-controlled Senate, or even one with sufficient members to end up short of the conviction threshold, would not remove Holder in a hundred years, even if it had videotape of him committing perjury, etc. (wait a minute, it does, and had hours of similar tape of Clinton).
That does not mean, of course, that to some of us, people of principle could not and should not proceed. Some would call it a waste of time and money, others might call it something else.
