Can we believe this 50th threat to hold contempt vote....or will we simply live through the 51st, 52nd, 53rd,......If you step across this line in the sand.....I will....well, I'll,....you know...I'll draw another line in the sand. There, take that. And......while we are at it....no hitting on my right shoulder,..I have bursitis.....lets get all of these rules agreed to....

It reminds me of Cliff Claven on Cheers when he and the psychiatrist were going to fight....but FIRST,....they spent 6 hours exhausting themselves on declaring the rules. Grown men either mean what they say or they are not respected. In this case Holder runs to the microphone and camera and begins to defecate on Issa. There can be no reasonable explaination for republicans to set themselves up as feckless, nutless dupes.

Mr. Issa say what you mean or shut up. You only make youself a characature of vapidity.

Just why aren’t these people who supplied guns to the mexi-narcos in jail for abetting the killing of our border agents and for the killing of 30,000 mexicans? I have never seen such a combination of lawlessness (nobama & his anti-Am,erican minions) and feckless wimpishness (congress).
Oy vey!

what happens to him if he’s held in contempt?

You're kidding, right?

Following a contempt citation, the person cited is arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for the House or Senate, brought to the floor of the chamber, held to answer charges by the presiding officer, and then subjected to punishment as the chamber may dictate (usually imprisonment for punishment reasons, imprisonment for coercive effect, or release from the contempt citation).

Imprisonment is usually for days like 10 or so.

I see Issa wimped out again.

What did you expect Issa to do, make a citizens's arrest or just shoot him on the spot?

Holder was mighty nervous in his statement in Statuary Hall moments ago.

Probably because he got twittered an invite for a barbeque at Ft. Marcy Park.

Obama cannot fire Holder because Holder, without the protection of the president would likely cut a deal for immunity in exchange for telling most of what he knows. This might very well be that it was an Obama approved plan from the beginning. Not that Congress has the balls to write up articles of impeachment but it would just be more bad PR for Hussein.

Pass the popcorn indeed. I suppose I’ll be watching C-Span tomorrow.

You think they’d actually take him into custody right then and there? If that’s the case, they either will postpone the contempt vote or find him NOT in contempt. Ain’t no way these quislings arrest him as if he was not a ruling class elite. You and me? - sure we’d be clapped in irons right there by some 400 pound federal bull dyke.

Nothing comes of this. I’m saying it right now. Holder will just say “stuff it, white boy” - and the congress goes - “ oh, ok, sorry . . “

He looked like he’d been punched in the eyes.
