Holder Contempt Vote
Happening soon. Pelosi says Democrats will walk out. Remember, NRA is scoring this vote you guys in pro-gun districts.
And what will happen if he’s held in contempt? I’m betting nothing.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

254-173 in favor of contempt, all Republicans plus 15 Democrats.
And thus this is a bipartisan rebuke of the Attorney General’s official behavior.
Defense of the AG is strictly partisan.

Think that was for the rules of debate. Still motioning.

Dewey beats Truman!
Mea Culpa.

The current Speaker is too wimpy to use inherent contempt procedures.

I think that you’d win that bet, SayUncle.
