255 for Contempt of Congress.
67 against Contempt of Congress.
109 walked out, didn’t vote.
Total 431 if my math is correct.
There are I believe 500 members of the House which means 69 of them did not vote, and I’m wondering what happened to those “representatives” that they did not “represent” their constituents.
There are 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 Senators.
There are 435 members of the House of Representatives. It was the House of Representatives that voted the contempt citation against Holder.
Actually, I believe there are 435 members of the House. Which meanss four others did not vote. And with a group that large to have 4 of them (less than 1%) out sick or for some other personal reason would not be unusual.
What hppened is that there was bi-partisan support for the vote and it passed overwhelminly. There were 109 who were unwilling to go on record AT ALL. That could be construed two ways, the one they are giving to the press where they are so enraged that they would not even particpate, or the one they hope their constitutents see and a political hedge by these whimps that should somehting come of it, they can say that they never voted “for” Holder.
These people are beyond contempt.
