WASHINGTON — A House committee is voting on whether to hold a former Internal Revenue Service official in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions at a pair of hearings.

Serious! If everyone did that...not actually ‘browsed them” just had their IP on file as having gone there, then it takes the threat of the sex stuff off the table ;) Which seems to be a Dem hobbyhorse to threaten over.

Amen Kevkrom, Amen.

[no-to-illegals]

As said have been lucky, so far. Very Lucky. May you experience the same luck.

[no-to-illegals]

Heck, you might every get elected.

I too congratulate Issa and the Committee Republicans for taking a stand.

It now goes to the full House. Boehner has indicated a vote will take place after the Easter recess.

[kevkrom]

But ... to your point ... the question becomes does the rest of the House, with Boehner at the helm, have to cajones to find her guilty of contempt and punished accordingly.

I have to say yes in this case. Issa wouldn't have been allowed to take this step unless he already have Boner's blessing.

Every = Even ... Even.

I think Cummings now needs to be investigated. Remember, he is a member of the Black Caucus who falsely accused tea party members in 2010 of spitting and hurling racial slurs at their members.....so he wanted the IRS to take conservatives down.

Do I plead butter knife?

[Norm Lenhart]

Just claim racism. Works for white demorats so I guess everyone can use the excuse ;)

[no-to-illegals]

The butter was at room temperature, your Honor.

[Norm Lenhart]

No no no... “The butter’s ancestor churns were churned by slaves oppressed by evil white devils, Your Honor”

Oppress for success! ;)

Jim Morrison was oppressed by evil colonialists. He drank himself to death over his sorrow of being white.

Come on Touch Me Babe ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7GKblttlMY ... I’m not afraid ... Hear me NSA?

[Chgogal]

Why wait until after Easter?

[no-to-illegals]

Just to be clear ... I will not be watching the lunar eclipse tonight.

was she offered immunity.

she needs to be offered immunity in exchange for the facts about zer0, Holder and the rest.

without immunity she is just pleading the 5th to protect herself from prosecution...it is a right even for doooooshes like her and the rest of the regime.

doesn’t the republicans in congress understand how this crap works???
