Here's a list of the

Amen brother!
The only thing that puzzles me is, for me to have contempt for something, wouldn’t it have to be something that has some respect due?

He can ignore it all he wants until Congress has the US Federal Marshalls arrest Holder and confine him for contempt. Would that be the same US Federal Marshals that work for the DoJ run by Eric Holder?

Capitol police have handcuffs. Id like to see that.
U.S. Marshals and their Deputies have served for over 200 years as the instruments of civil authority by all three branches of the U.S. government. .

The committee votes on a resolution that would then, if passed, go to the full house "committee" (the entire house) for a vote. I'm not sure, if that is passed, if it needs another vote by the full house. Then, he is in "contempt".Which would be done in 2013?

And Holder doesn’t give a rats ass.
Still...I’m glad they’re doing it. Just one more public indictment of a severely crooked administration.

I believe the Sergeant at Arms would be responsible for arresting someone for contempt of congress. The charge is wholly contained within the legislative branch, and is not enforceable or modifiable by either the Executive or the Judicial branch.

Thanks for the links. I just fired off an “encouraging” note to Connie Mack. He’d better not go RINO on this!
To: Raebie
To even consider the charge of Comtempt of Congress against hold is racis[t].

Ultimately, the House voting for contempt will be ignored. Holder will argue that the Senate approved him and only the Senate has the constitutional authority to remove him...thru impeachment.
The House will not press their authority (meaning they can put him in jail.) The result will be more time kicking the can ‘cuz the House knows the votes are there in the Senate.
Documentation will be “forthcoming” until Obamugabe is out of office.

What's the penalty for contempt of Congress...just a charge?
Tell me just how in the hell is this going to affect a contemptuous bastard like Holder?
Congress's contempt for Holder is exceeded only by Holder's contempt for Congress.
Holder needs to go to jail, or there is no justice here.
Holder is one of the slimeballs whose resume' is enhanced by a contempt of Congress...he don't give a rats ass. Willie Jeff was held in contempt of Court...his law license was revoked and nothing has happened to him except he got richer and seemingly more powerful.
So...IF "Contempt of Congress" is all that can be done to Holder, I'll take it, but HE NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL FOR THE MURDER OF BORDER AGENTS AND OTHER INNOCENT AMERICANS AND MEXICAN CITIZENS.

According to Wikipedia, one possible route that this could go is:
- Full Committee vote
- Full House vote
- Arrest by the Seargent-at-Arm of the House for Inherent Contempt
- Imprisonment
No impeachment, no Senate. A Presidential pardon cannot be applied. The USSC would generally support the House decision.
However, in the history of contempt of congress citation, most people cough up the documents. Actual jail time is rare and last happened in 1983.
