Every member of the House has to vote on this, don’t they? What if they just refuse to vote? Then the House couldn’t vote Holder in contempt.

“We adamantly oppose this partisan attack and refuse to participate in any vote that would tarnish the image of Congress or of an attorney general who has done nothing but work tirelessly to protect the rights of the American people," the Black Caucus members wrote in the letter, which was obtained by several news outlets.

Yup, AG holder really protected the voting rights of the people when he prosecuted the new black panthers in Philly. Oh wait, never mind.

“We cannot and will not participate in a vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt."

That is because members of the cbc [other than Rep Allen West] are just as corrupt as holder.

“Alan West is listed as a member:”

And someone should get a picture of him in chamber all alone. Then send it viral.

This is the best opportunity Americans will have to say “you can be like this, or you can be like this.”

I suggested that back in 2006 with you can be like Condi Rice or you can be like Cynthia McKinney.

The Attorney General is refusing to obey the law and people who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution are walking out over a Contempt of Congress vote. If that doesn't make it perfectly clear that the people walking out consider themselves and those they represent to be above the law, nothing does.

When is someone going to wise up and start the White Folks Caucus so it can walk out over all sorts of imagined slights and demands that white folks obey the law? If nothing else, it would be a good way to lampoon these black idiots who are an embarrassment to the millions of good people of the same color who do believe in the Constitution and equality before the law.

By joining this "walk out", everyone in it is publicly confessing that they are a member of a national organized criminal enterprise.

Wiretap them, follow them around, go after them for every minor infraction they commit to keep them in court, and otherwise treat them just like we go after all the other criminal organizations. Get Rhymin Jessie for something and have him rat out the others because Jessie great on the witness stand. You know, "I was their Nigga, a real vote Rigga, and can prove, Yo Honna, they hide cash in Ghana".

“Looks like the cracker democrats didn’t get an invitation.”

------------- “I am OUTRAGED,” as Sheila Jackson Lee of the black caucus (and aisle HOG EXTRAORDINAIRE) so often says.

Will she be torn between running in front of all cameras or hanging onto her aisle seat....

Racists on parade.

That this group would stage a walkout rather than vote on an Attorney General that has very clearly refused to deliver documents which he is required to do tells you what the congressional black caucus is about. It also reveals their opinion of the American citizens and the American system of government.

Oh, I think Whites are starting to understand them very well. Essentially, their minds are arrested at a tribal level of development.

After 100+ I'm sure this isn't original, but it does merit repeating.

It's not about the substance of the policy, it's about the color of Soetoro. Isn't that racist?

They may have been in the House a long time, but the law has been around longer, and it will be around after they’re gone.

Obama and Holder perpetrated an Act of War on Mexico, 300 Mexicans died, 2 BATF agents died, Holder won’t hand over the appropriate documents,Obama claims executive privilege, and this is the BEST the Congressional Black Congress can do?

Holder and Obama have committed a crime which has resulted in hundreds opf deaths. They deserve arrest , trial and execution for murder.And the Congressional Black Caucus walks out? Thats all they got for America?

SNORT !
