Seventeen Democrats joined with 238 Republicans to vote for the contempt charges against Holder, while over 100 Democrats did not vote, most of them symbolically walking out of the House chamber in protest.

Update: Fox News reports that the House has also voted to hold Holder in civil contempt, 258 to 95.

Time to boot 0’s goons to the curb. Holder is at the top of the list. The only thing that makes me a little apprehensive is whether the next in line will be worse.
