The House voted Thursday to advance a resolution finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, and a related resolution that could lead to civil court action against Holder.
Members voted 254-173 in favor of a rule governing floor debate for the two resolutions, setting up more debate and votes later in the day. The rule was approved by every Republican, and 15 Democrats, a sign that the resolutions might win the support of about a dozen or more Democrats later in the day.

You’re kidding, right?
In the middle of a vote in the House to hold AG Holder in Contempt of Congress and after dragging Obama into this with his use of Executive Privelege, you’re saying that Issa isn’t doing enough???
Issa has the highest ranking official in US History to be held in contempt from a full house vote. What else should he be doing?

I love how Issa smacked down Dingleberry. He SAID that he was representing his constituent Brian Terry and his family. Then Issa said that the Terry family hasn’t even HEARD from you. LOL! LOVE it!

Can anyone tell me what the electronic vote going on decides? Is it the contempt charge? I don’t think so.

Voting to return the matter to committee (thereby killing the contempt motion).

But, seriously, isn't the status quo maintained in the event of a tie vote? Yes, in the event of a tie vote at the Supreme Court, the decision of the Appeals Court stands as binding on the parties involved, but the decision is not counted as a binding Supreme Court precedent. (You actually have to have a majority SCOTUS decision to create a binding national precedent on the lower courts.)

The voters in his district did a GREAT job to get rid of RINO Inglis....Gowdy is a keeper!

Jimmy Cricket! Another vote to vote on the vote to vote on the contempt of With Holder!
