but not before the radical leftists stage a walkout which C-SPAN says they will cover.

Perhaps Boehner can turn off ALL LIGHTS AND CAMERAS. Worked for Pelosi.

[kempster]

See ya, wouldn’t wanna be yta. don’t let the door hit you in the ... Hurry back now.

[Tennessee Nana]

These boots are made for walkin

there they go...

[tsowellfan]

The parade leaving the chamber, why would they not at least vote against it? No guts?

[freebird5850]

And just heard that an email was sent out urging the Dems not to vote but just walk out. Typical.....

[glennaro]

It’s clear — again and again — that the Democrat-Socialist Party is not interested in democracy ... only that they get their way.

That was funny. There were no yeas or nays on agreeing to the (contempt) resolution, but speaker says yeas have it. Then member asks for electronic vote. Speaker says all for it stand. Everybody is standing anyway, so electronic vote is called. It’s over for Holder.

[kidd]

Thats it.
Contempt Resolution passed.

On to the courts!

[cripplecreek]

From here on out, they’re the ABC “Angry Black Caucus”

[Lakeside Granny]

We didn’t get our way. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

[Norm Lenhart]

Or as Python would put it...

When Justice finally reared it’s head..
Democrats all tuened and fled
BRAVE Brave Brave BRAVE Black Caucus!

[kidd]

17 Democrats voting to hold Holder in Contempt+1 voting Present
One GOP voting against....who???

[tsowellfan]

I wish Alan Keyes would return to the republican party.

[Excellence]

Eighteen democrats for the resolution. That’s good.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep. NEVER happy.

[Red_Devil 232]

Gees! FNC showing Pelosi and her crew walking out the house into the street!

I am surprised they did not have buses waiting for them! LOL!

[Excellence]

Seventeen; one was taken back.

[tsowellfan]

Eighteen democrats for the resolution. That’s good.

Well, they cannot call it partisan no more.

. . . complaining about republicans being stuck in 1888.

1888 eh? Isn't that interesting?

1888 was about the time that

1. the Democrat party was unleashed to enact Jim Crow laws.
   
2. the only black political office holders (all Republicans) were expelled from office.
   
3. A professional black baseball player named Wendell Walker was banned from competition by a couple of Democrat team owners in the league, a barrier which would remain in effect until Jackie Robinson came along in 1947.

It was Republicans who fought a bloodly civil war to make black Americans citizens instead of property. And this dumb-assed caller want them all to return to the Democrat plantation.

Great work with the research!
