The road leading to a possible lawsuit by the House was filled with emotion Thursday. More than 100 Democrats walked up an aisle and out of the chamber to boycott the first of two contemptvotes, saying Republicans were more interested in shameful election-year politics than documents.Democrats promised closure as well, but said a less-partisan Republican investigation — notcontempt resolutions — was the only way to get it.About five hours after the court ruled, with news sites flooded with information about the health care ruling, the House voted 255-67 to declare Holder in criminal contempt — an action that could lead to criminal prosecution but probably won’t.The matter goes to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, who works under Holder.A second vote of 258-95 held Holder in civil contempt and allows the House to bring a civil lawsuit in an effort to force him to turn over the documents.The National Rifle Association pressed hard for the contempt resolutions, leaning on members of both parties who want to stay in the NRA’s good graces.
how is it that we are finding out now how rigged the gov't is by right installations of their ideology or their friendly outside orgs, that can control congress with a few words of threat. because it's true.
there is no wonder Pres. was unable to instigate that change in gov't it ain't the gov't it's every other outside interest looking for a lookout by their purchased politicians, mostly in the form of deregulation, green light to "we the people" biting the proverbial dust, hey all have gas mask.
hard to find corruption in gov't when you're looking in the wrong place, try corporate America, then follow the money.
