The House has passed a motion finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for failing to hand over documents related to Operation Fast and Furious. The Obama administration recently asserted executive privilege over the documents.
The final vote was 255 in favor, 67 against, 1 present, and 110 not voting. Many Democrats walked out of the chambe during the vote, 17 voted with the Republicans. Two Republicans broke ranks and voted against contempt.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Another 110 profiles in courage from our illustrious US House of Representatives.

I didn't know that Wisconsin has 110 Representatives in the House. That's some serious redistricting going on.

This is long overdue, and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Those 110 Democrats - they are just following the example of their boss the Usurper, who voted "present" on a whole bunch of controversial votes in his Senate days.

So now what? Unfortunately, the Democratic prosecutor is D.C. isn't about to prosecute his boss. The Repubs can then file suit and Holder will be dead of old age before the suit is decided. What a waste of taxpayer money.

Geez, a SLAP ON THE WRIST, and Holder etc are LAUGHING THEIR ARSES OFF over same. They don't care! What some DC Democrat judge is gonna prosecute him? Right, and the COW JUMPED OVER THE MOON WHILE THE DISH RAN AWAY WITH THE SPOON. Vote your entire-complete Republican ballot/ticket in November if you want a solution!!!!!!!
