Nearly a dozen Republicans have joined forces to introduce articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, upping the ante on long-running attacks against the cabinet member.

“This was not a decision that I made lightly. Since the House voted in 2012 to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, the pattern of disregard for the rule of law and refusal to be forthright has only continued,” Texas Rep. Pete Olson, who drafted the articles, told Reuters on Wednesday.

Olson is joined by 10 co-sponsors, including high-profile tea party Republicans Michele Bachmann and Louis Gohmert, in drafting four articles of impeachment against Holder. The lawmakers charge that the Justice Department chief lied to Congress and should be removed from President Obama’s cabinet.

Bachman and Gohmert? Looks like they got the GOP's mental heavy hitters on board.
