Attorney General Eric Holder, long accustomed to GOP attacks, faced bipartisan ire in the House Wednesday over the Justice Department’s decision to subpoena journalists’ phone records in connection with a leak investigation. […]

The ranking Democrat on the panel, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), began his opening remarks with a sharp criticism of the department’s foray into the AP journalists’ contacts.

“I am deeply troubled by the notion that our government would secretly pursue such a broad array of media phone records over such a long period of time,” Conyers said.

Conyers said a reporter’s shield law, which failed in pass in recent Congresses, was sorely needed. “I suggest that those of us with concerns about a free press also work together to achieve a better balance in the law,” he said, calling it a common-sense measure.
