The hearing will examine the constitutional questions raised by the Department of Justice's refusal to comply with a Congressional subpoena.

The case boils down to this:  Is the BATFE above the law?  They seem to think so.  Hopefully they'll be informed otherwise, though I'm not holding my breath.

There is that pesky little matter of next year's budget. At the end of the day Congress will win if it straps its balls on.

Darrell Issa, Department of Justice feud heats up
The Obama administration and Rep. Darrell Issa seem to be headed for their biggest showdown yet as the House oversight committee chief prepares for a Wednesday hearing into an undercover, federal gunrunning investigation that lost track of weapons later found at the scene of a Border Patrol agent’s murder in Arizona.

They have to find them first....

Did you guys see any of the Waco hearings? That all went away with a tsk, tsk - do try not to do that again.
I hope the nuetered, poll gazing politicians will pull their heads out of their butts on this investigation - but that's asking a lot.
