Four Democrats broke with their party and voted against the resolution

FOUR? We had four of these Jaybirds who flipped seats in Pennsylvania alone who swore up and down that they wouldn't be Nancy Pelosi's little Lamb and be an independent voice.

As long as voters keep falling for that schtick, they will keep getting it.

I’m not sure we can even consider it a “power” when it is so entirely inconsequential.

These Democrats are exercising their right to free speech like any other citizens - the only difference being an exaggerated sense of self-importance while doing it.

Think about this held in criminal contempt. Where do they send that to the DOJ and AG Barr. What are the chances that Barr will hold indict himself? Had they done civil they could have gone to federal court

Cummings went on to say, “In this case, the attorney general and Secretary Ross have blatantly obstructed our ability to do congressional oversight into the real reason Secretary Ross was trying — for the first time in 70 years — to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.” First time in 70 years? what was it that Obama removed in 2010? Also the citizenship has been part of the census from the start in one form are another.

Isn’t that what “along party lines” means?

Like I’ve said before, the only thing missing is an upraised middle finger on the Attorney General’s part.

I’m sure Barr and Ross are losing so much sleep over this. /sarc

It should be called contempt of house.

I'm going with "Contempt of RATs".

Contempt for Congress should be a requirement for receiving the Medal of Freedom.
