Now Holder can give Congress both middle fingers. Not only ignore the subpoena, but instruct all his minions to ignore their duty to take him before a grand jury. There isn’t any downside for him. Either Obama is re-elected, and keeps Holder on, or Romney is elected, and tosses Holder out. Nothing else definitive has the time to happen between now and elections.
Rep. Daniel Lipinski from Illinois – District 3 was the one to vote “present”. It looks like he’s from Chicago.
Over a hundred other critters shirked their civic duty and did not cast a vote. They’re all posted here in a readable formant, with elephants and donkeys all flying their colors.
They had to leave one putz there to vote present to prevent the Republicans from passing every bill they have ever wanted in a few minutes using unanimous consent requests.
One threat the the Republicans and a future Romney administration could hold over Holder is that in the event Holder is pardoned, by an outgoing Obama, Romney would permit Holder’s extradition to Mexico to face charges there.

I liked the part where some of the donks walked out.
That gave the media something else to say besides how many broke ranks and voted with the RKBA.

Congress can impeach him for being in contempt.
I wonder how many Democrat Senators will turn coat because they face an election?
