The House voted Thursday to advance a resolution finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, and a related resolution that could lead to civil court action against Holder.
Members voted 254-173 in favor of a rule governing floor debate for the two resolutions, setting up more debate and votes later in the day. The rule was approved by every Republican, and 15 Democrats, a sign that the resolutions might win the support of about a dozen or more Democrats later in the day.

I think this is a vote to send it back to the committee and if it fails then there is the actual vote of contempt.

When this one fails the contempt vote is next, but not before the radical leftists stage a walkout which C-SPAN says they will cover.
To: RushIsMyTeddyBear
I see now 118 R don’t want it sent back, 2 do. No more debate! Guilty!

As they walk out I hope one Repub has the guts to say something like
“Let the record show that these people now leaving value their color over the laws of their country”.

The contempt vote is underway. Looks like a parade leaving the chamber. Not that there was ever any doubt, but now the contempt resolution is sure to pass.
To: Lakeside Granny
Yeah, she basically said it never happened and was really just a plot against Holder and Bam Bam
