The House votes Holder in contempt.
Posted: Jun 20, 2012
Holder really messed up, big time. He stonewalled and did not comply with submitting the lawfully requested documents. Now this. ;
Good, about time the total disregard this administration - has for the rule of law/Constitution
[ In Reply To ..]catches up with them They are disgraceful. No regard or respect for the lives lost with their attempt to politically manipulate the gun regulations. This is the absolute most incompetent, arrogant (right up there with Clinton), inept, inexperienced, lying (again right up there with Clinton), deceiptful, manipulative bunch of baffoons housed under 1 roof.
Sounds just like the dems complaints under Bush - a few years ago. LOL!nm

Even Alberto Gonzalez wasn't censured - when he was forced to resign
[ In Reply To ..]after bipartisan calls for his ouster over "misstatements" he made in his testimony during the Congressional probe in the attorney firings. Despite Ws unwavering support, they did initiate no confidence vote proceedings in both the House and Senate which ultimately failed, but not before 7 GOP senators sided with the democrats in a cloture vote. Ultimately it was a moot point, since he left his position with no clear explanation.
Gonzales very clear about reasons for leaving - Try a little research nm

Ummm, I did. See 1st sentence of 2nd paragraph - in this link

His announcement even caught his closest top aides off guard.
I guess we are expected to accept your backtalk and research admonishment simply because you say so, without even stating the alleged "clear" reason or citing a source. So do tell. What did HE say HIS reasons were for skipping out after the no confidence dust up?
No they didn't. The oversight committee RECOMMENDED - a House vote that
[ In Reply To ..]hasn't happened yet.
Actual vote was taken to put before entire House - Yeahs 23 - Nays 17
[ In Reply To ..]Was not a "recommendation", but an actual vote by the committee to proceed to the floor with a vote open to entire House. Big dfference between that and a "recommendation".
No they didn't. The oversight committee RECOMMENDED - WRONG VOTE WAS TAKEN nm
[ In Reply To ..].
It goes without saying that committees vote before - making recommendations, but
[ In Reply To ..]the fact remains that the HOUSE has not voted on this, as was erroneously stated in the original post. There is a BIG difference between a vote taken in a 40 member committee versus one involving more than 10 times that number of reps (435 to be exact), all of whom are up for re-election in the fall.
Does not "go without saying", many on this board - have no idea what occurred
[ In Reply To ..]or may not know what the process is. The fact is still: Committee voted, yeahs 23, nays 17 to move it to the House for a full House vote for contempt of Congress.
I'm sorry. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I didn't realize you had taken it upon yourself to educate all the clueless posters who need guidance through the committee process, don't realize that committees vote, and haven't heard today's lead story out of our do-nothings in the House....who no matter how you try to slice it... Have. Not. Voted. On. Censure.
YOU SHOULD BE SORRY FOR - ***
[ In Reply To ..]***
NOBODY took anything on themselves other than you ***. Maybe someone would like to know what happened, maybe didn't get to see the news and would like the info ***,
smart *** comments that drive your posts.
NO.ONE.SAID.CENSURE.WAS.VOTED.ON.TODAY.
POSTS.ONLY.STATED.COMMITTEE.VOTED.TO.MOVE.IT.TO.THE.HOUSE.FOR.A.FULL.HOUSE.VOTE.
If you spent more time *** and actually read posts by ALL posters, YOU.WOULD.LEARN.SOMETHING.
No need to scream. - We heard you the first time
[ In Reply To ..]Your attention is directed to the very top of the thread. That would be the entry with the big fat blue star in front of it, that reads as follow:
"The House votes Holder in contempt."
That would appear to be in direct conflict with your assertion that "NO.ONE.SAID.CENSURE.WAS.VOTED.ON. TODAY," assuming that you realize this thread is not only about you and your posts. All I tried to do was correct that misconception. I trust we can now agree on this one single point I have been trying to make. ***
Anyway you spin it, - Holder is in deep doo-doo.
[ In Reply To ..]The House committee voted to hold him in contempt, it's going to the full House next week. Yep. He's in for it.
Good, sick of him/Obama picking and choosing - what law to enforce..

So, why is Holder so quiet? Is it another case that, as he said in the New Black Panther voter intimidation case, "demeans my people?" Come on, Mr. Holder, I'm just dying to know your feelings on putting a dead-or-alive bounty on a man's head in our civil society. What's next? A public stoning? Please condem this publicly and, at the very least, investigate it. In other words, do your job. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/04/zi ...

Eric Holder Possible ReplacementsSep 26, 2014
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick Deval Patrick is one of the names consistently floated as a hypothetical replacement for Holder.

Eric Holder/fast And FuriousOct 04, 2011
Documents obtained by CBS News prove that Holder had been receiving regular briefings on the botched sting operation as early as July, 2010. This revelation runs directly counter to testimony that Holder gave before a Congressional committee in which he claimed that he had no knowledge of the scandal before the press broke it. Seems to me like Eric Holder may have bitten off more than he can chew on this one. Curious to see how this plays out. ...
