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.

And this dumb-assed caller want them all to return to the Democrat plantation.
I honestly don't blame the caller. It was democrats who keep him ignorant as surely as the slave owners who lobbied for laws against teaching blacks to read.

Sorry, it was the brothers Moses and Welday Walker who got kicked out of professional baseball and it was in 1884, so my memory was not perfect.

Unknown Democrat Socialist from DC arguing there is no cover-up or evidence of a cover-up.
To: Excellence
Issa responded that based on what has occurred over the past 10 months any "normal American" would conclude there is a cover-up.
Little-known Democrat Socialist from Virginia saying this is all Bush's fault!
To: kidd
The Gentlewoman from DC is an idiot and is still discussing the resolution.
Here’s a clue: it passed.
