Pelosi announces plans for full House vote in dear colleague letter, also outlining legislative steps to protect migrants
The House will soon vote to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary William Ross in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas for documents explaining the administrations rationale for wanting to add a citizenship question to the census, Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a Dear Colleague letter on Monday.
The Oversight and Reform Committee last month approved a contempt resolution against Barr and Ross that included language to refer the matter to the U.S. attorney in Washington for possible criminal charges, as well as authorize the pursuit of a lawsuit.
The Justice and Commerce departments have provided the Oversight Committee with some documents on the citizenship question while withholding others over claims of executive privilege.
The House, in a floor vote the day before the Oversight contempt markup, already gave all committees the authority to file lawsuits to enforce their subpoenas.
That means a floor vote is not needed for Democrats to try to get a court order forcing Barr and Ross to hand over the outstanding documents they requested.

They could give a damn about Ross....They want to get rid of Barr...
The House leadership keeps digging their hole deeper and deeper. How dumb ( and irrelevant, and frankly how despised ) can they get?
Wait till Congress gets dissolved and charged with treason. Looking forward to rounding these scum up.
Now what's so hard about that.
I dont know what the f**k is wrong with half this country that they vote for these Commucrats. These people dont give a rats rear end about the country!
Have House Democrats ever introduced a reasonable bill or tried to work with Trump on infrastructure or the homeless problem plaguing big cities?
The more contempt resolutions Congresses passes the more ridiculous they’ll look. These resolutions are just Congress whining. They have no enforcement authority. They would be smarter just going for court orders.
More mental masturbation from Pelosi’s do nothing Congress.

“Wealth” is nothing more than money you saved and/or invested instead of spending.
People who spend every dime they get on Escalades, bling and hoes will never have wealth no matter how much of other people’s money you steal and give to them.
But Democrats know that.
“The House will soon vote to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary William Ross in contempt of Congress...”
Is that akin to double secret probation? Where is Dean Wormer when we really need him!
Its a census, what more rational is needed? ... these people are stupid
What on earth happened to the Democrat party as they have gone way over full blown nuts?
Trump always gets even...he is the master of leverage.
I predict that ICE enforcement will center upon purple states.
This will remove large numbers of illegal voters in the very places that will impede dem vote fraud.
The dems will squeal about it because they can’t help themselves.
I can hear it now “How dare this cretin remove our immigrant voters in Colorado, New Mexico, Michigan,,etc”
The fact that these ‘immigrants’ already have deportation orders will not be mentioned by msm.
