The Black Caucus Is Staging A Walkout During The Eric Holder Contempt Vote

The Congressional Black Caucus is planning to stage a walkout during tomorrow's House vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal, according to a letter that is being circulated among Democratic members of Congress.
“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. “We cannot and will not participate in a vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt."
The letter, which was sent to the Hispanic, Asian, and Progressive Caucuses, calls on members to walk off the House floor during tomorrow's vote, and join the Black Caucus for a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building during the roll call.
The House Rules Committee voted along party lines Wednesday to send the contempt measure to the House floor, designating two hours and 20 minutes for debate Thursday, according to The Hill.

>> This is shades of Wisconsin.
Yeah, except the Wisconsin walkout was at least *effective* for awhile.
The CBC walkout won’t deny the House a quorum. It’s just a PR stunt.
So color them simply ridiculous. Racial double entendre intended!
If they don't show for the vote, send the Sergeant of Arms after them. If they don't return to the chamber quietly, notify the DC police to arrest them for malfeasance in office.
Looks like Chief Justice Kardashian and the Supremes are going to get the reality-show dramatic, suspenseful ending they deliberately induced with their unnecessary, overly-prolonged elongation of the decision-making process which played right into the hands of the whorish, sensation-seeking media.
I'll bet the MSM is having an orgasm right now with the dramatics of the black caucus walking out. It's okay with them, of course, for the Black Caucus to "politicize" the decision, but not for the NRA to issue a statement.

Reminds me of when the Dems all went into hiding in Wisconsin. Bunch of brats think the laws only apply to the other guy and can deal when they don’t get their way.
Now the question is how to bar the door so they cannot get back in.
Really is anyone going to notice them gone?
The only thing they contribute is their wallets to be stuffed and racist division. That’s it.
Good riddance! don’t the door hit your lazy behinds on the way out.
“Lock the door behind them, don’t let the corrupt bastards back in, and don’t elect them anymore, they are not worthy of the job.”
Well said. They epitomize racism and have held us all hostage long enough.
Don’t let the door hit ya....etc, etc.
Everyone can have a caucus except whitey. And when the hell did progressives get a caucus?
Q: What do the Black Congressional Caucus & the OJ Simpson jury have in common?
A: Far too much.
Goes to show that there is nothing to the Congressional Black Caucus EXCEPT race. The ‘Pubbies need to make a demonstration as to how little respect they have for the CBC, as they walk out. A few shouts of “See Ya! Don’t let the door hit you on the a$$ on the way out!” might go a long way...
I hope they keep walking. Nothing bad would come of that...only good.
Why wait? Walk out now and upstage the courts! Oh thats right nobody other then them really gives a **** if they walk out.
We should “turn this around” by shouting that that the Black Caucus and Holder don’t want to investigate Fast and Furious because Brian Terry was white! If they can pull the racist card on white people, why not pull it on them?

Looks like the cracker democrats didn’t get an invitation.
Maybe. They’ll go on a “hunger strike,” too?
Every time they do this, race matter less.
And less.
And less.
Well, it didn't work for them in Wisconsin and let's pray it won't work for them in DC.
At least a lot of folks will wake up to the fact that this stunt reveals that the Black Caucus members don't accept taxpayer-funded paychecks for working for the good of the country as a whole, but for the black socialist agenda first and foremost.
