Democrats defend Holder from GOP

Senate Democrats are rallying to Attorney General Eric Holders defense.

They argue Republicans are wrong to suggest he is overly partisan or that he is more uncooperative with Congress, compared to past attorneys general.

I guess they dont like anybody who disagrees with them, said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Hes a strong and smart advocate for a different point of view.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), a senior member of the panel, also stood up for Holder.

I simply do not accept that. Ive been here long enough to know, she said. He is less partisan than some, thats for sure.

Holder is at the center of a new political firestorm following testy exchanges with House Republicans this week at a panel hearing.

After getting into it with Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) at a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Holder made headlines by saying he had been treated differently compared to past attorneys general.

He accused Republicans of launching unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly and divisive attacks against him and the rest of the Obama administration.

Its just the latest battle between the combative Holder and the House GOP, which voted to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress in Obamas first term over the "Fast and Furious" gun-tracking program.

The contempt Holder and the GOP hold for one another was on full display all week.
