Democrats claim the postponement happened because they don’t want to miss the health-care bill signing or the White House party celebrating its passage.
Attorney General Eric Holder finally sent his answers from a November hearing to Senate Republicans Monday, on what was presumed to be the eve of an expected showdown between Holder and the GOP lawmakers over plans to close Guantanamo Bay prison and put detainees on trial in civilian courts….
