The congressional contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder is looking more and more like a fait accompli, as House Speaker John Boehner presses ahead with a Thursday floor vote and conservative Democrats one-by-one announce they will side with Republicans.

At least four Democrats so far have said they plan to vote to hold Holder in contempt over his refusal to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents. Sources told Fox News that roughly 20 are likely to break ranks.

Nice..... does it also include removal from office? Maybe that would require an impeachment.

Will be most interesting to see how nobama reacts. Will holder just crawling under the bus?

Shaming these people is not much deterent to shameless people.

I had a Horrible dream last night that Thursday came around and Republicans canceled the contempt vote, said an “agreement” was reached and Obamacare was said to be constitutional in it's entirety. A real nightmare!

[fwdude]

I'm still doubtful that this vote will even take place. Boehner, Obama and Holder will have a "golf summit," will sing Kum Ba Ya, and everything will be forgotten.

Wake me up if I'm proven wrong.

I am sure you are right. Soon, if not already, they will hate each other; and may go down with the shop with their hands around each others’ throats.

[little jeremiah]

Oops, go down with the “ship”, not “shop”.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Anyone associated with this are accomplices to murder. Period.

I'll do you one better. It's an act of war.

Question was put, could the Speaker have Holder jailed?

No.

The contempt document will be referred to the federal prosecutor for DC, who works for Eric Holder.

He would have to indict Holder, or bring it to a grand jury for action, in order for it to go anywhere beyond Congress.

It does not involve removal from office.

That is called impeachment and conviction.

THe House impeaches, the Senate convicts.

Remember Clinton was impeached by the House but was not convicted by the Senate, therefore he continued in office.

The Democrats also see the writing on the wall, they know Obama is going to lose the election and the GOP will gain some more seats in Congress.
Rats jumping ship.

[American Constitutionalist]

( My advice to the GOP House... Push that vote button till your thumb hurts! )

Yes Congress, push that reset button.

Go straight to jail and do not pass Go.

[American Constitutionalist]

There is no honor among thieves.

[American Constitutionalist]

No honor among thieves, liars.

[American Constitutionalist]

He's going find out when he tries to use THE RACE CARD that even black people are going to turn on him.
The race card has not the power it once did, it's been used and redeemed to many times, and all used up.
What's more on the people of American's minds are jobs, security, and what's going to happen in the future with their families.
The social justice causes of 60's yesterday are a faint echo of what NOT to do, and what most people now want to forget.
The 60's HIP DIPPY days are long gone, so to is the hip hop music, the hip hop movement is in it's last legs.

[American Constitutionalist]

From that, most of the top players in Obama's administration are all involved in the great scandal of FAST & FURIOUS and not just Eric Holder.

Yes indeed this is much much larger and more serious than Watergate.

[American Constitutionalist]

Well, well, well, now the people and Congress have proof that they are guilty with video evidence of THEIR own admission.

[The KG9 Kid]

I’m expecting Democrats to walk out of the House tomorrow.

[Safetgiver]

Re; your #53.....You forgot Waco, Ruby Ridge, walking explosives to get 168 people killed in OK City...This guy has at least 500 murders (PROVEN murders) on his hands either directly or indirectly.

[princeofdarkness]

Well, some within the Clinton crowd had a few unfortunate “accidents” and “suicides” victims of the phenomenon known as “arkancide”. Accordingly those that fell and will fall victim in the Obama circle will succumb to the phenomeon of “Obamacide”.

Holder better invest in a food taster and remote control car engine starters.

[princeofdarkness]

...and stay away from Fort Marcy Park!

A Young Man from “Roll Call” was on Greta last night. He’s predicting 20-30 Dems will vote FOR the Contempt Charge with the Pubbies.
