...and having lawmakers walk out of the Capitol...

Prediction: As they "walk out", none of them will be chewing gum.

In its history, the United States House of Representatives has never held a United States Attorney General, or any other Cabinet official, in contempt.

Some interesting reading...

@ Eric Holder’s contempt vote: He’s hardly the first

@ Appendix. Congressional Contempt Resolutions, 1980-Present

@ Congress’s Contempt Power and the Enforcement of Congressional Subpoenas
Page 63 for Appendix. Congressional Contempt Resolutions, 1980-Present

Since the Dems don't seem to have the votes to block a contempt are they simply going to skip out on such an historic event without even lodging a protest vote?

Be sure and note the date of that report...May 8, 2012

Sounds like somebody wanted to be prepared in advance so they requested the report be prepared.

“”8 P.M. and OFF with Fox News...Juan Williams sitting in for Bill O’Reilly...so off went my TV.””

Same here - didn’t take me 1/2 minute to exit the living room and get back here. I wrote to The Five last week and told them I would NEVER watch their show again if Juan Williams was on and that went for every other FOX show also. He insists on defending the indefensible no matter how damaging to the country and I simply could not take it anymore. I told them that I love them all - even Bob Beckel - but no more Juan Williams for me.

He ought to be made to sit in a room for 8 hours and look at his facial expressions and eye rolling on a monitor. He behaves like a spoiled brat. He’s fond of quoting what he calls facts when they are simply his opinions.

The letter is being circulated among the Black, Hispanic, Asian and Progressive caucuses, among other.

When whites eventually become a minority, due to lowering birth rates over the ensuing years, do we get to form a
Congressional White Caucus without being called racists or bigots or will such a designation be a perpetual thing?

OOOOOHH! How snottily socially aware... how 9th grade (if any of them made it that far.
**************************************************
Pshaw! There are many who haven’t made it through the 9th grade that can make better decisions.

The only choice left is that they make decisions based not in reality but of their own racism or because they are black and therefore, they are unable to make a better decision.

I believe it is their racism.

The politicians are not the only corrupt people in this equation.

When you have the ability to Gerymander a district using computers you can design a district that will have a certain outcome, not just in that district, but it keeps those voters out of another district. Cool huh?

Ala O.J. Simpson. Same thing. The whole country will make the comparison. Not even the lamestream media can ignore it.
