The point of the RW attempt to tie F&F to the 2nd amendment

is to allow the NRA to count it in its rating of congress. This will put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to vote for contempt against Holder. They want to keep the GOP in line and peel off enough Dems to portray it as a bi-partisan slap at Obama. These are the most cynical people I have ever seen . Nothing is beneath them.

But since the NRA said they're gonna "score" the congressmen on their votes, there's supposedly gonna be up to 30 Conservadems who will vote with the Repubs. in order to keep their NRA scores high. That'll make it "bipartisan" and will be used against this admin. up to election day.
