Now impeach and arrest him. He responsible for the murders of hundreds both Mexican and American citizens. The gesture is meaningless unless they are willing to follow through.

Well this is wonderful news, now that Holder has been found in contempt, the Kenyan Generalissimo can just issue a pardon for "any and all offenses which may have been committed by Reich Minister for InJustice Erich von Holder"

Did those who walked out vote before they left vote. OR, did they leave so they wouldn’t have to vote to support the illegal actions of 0 and WithHolder?

Who were the two spineless Pubbies who defected? The two Republican "no" votes were Reps. Steve LaTourette (Ohio) and Scott Rigell (Va.).

17 Democrats! That makes it bipartisan.
To: Hunton Peck
Well he is contemptuous. However, after all the huffing and puffing so what! What will be done? This administration will thumb their nose at the House action and will probably draw political benefit from the holding.

So over 100 Dems didn't even vote?
Looks like they're afraid of their seats and don't know which way the wind will be blowing come Nov.
Pretty interesting that so many weren't willing to stand up for Holder.
To: No Socialist
This means nothing. Big deal. It will go on his....... PERMANENT RECORD !!!
