#2 Not surprisingly (since he's a Beltway Establishment stooge through and through), Boehner missed one hell of an opportunity here...

Congressional Black Caucus plans walk out of Holder contempt vote

CNN Senior Congressional Producer Deirdre Walsh

Washington (CNN) - Dismissing a vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress as a "political stunt," a group of House Democrats, led by the Congressional Black Caucus, is planning to walk out of the House chamber on Thursday and boycott the vote.

The move mirrors a similar walk out by House Republicans in 2008 when Democrats, who then controlled the House, held a vote to hold two top Bush Administration officials in contempt of Congress.

#4 I think Boehner can make that three point shot to the trash can.

#6 strategically, it would be a good idea to postpone the contempt vote and let Holder fail a few more times to provide the documents

in the meantime, a few more democrats will defect and the contempt vote would be stronger

#7 I have to disagree, Lord Garth, on the matter of timing: more time is EXACTLY what the Dems are scratching for, therefore the correct Repub strategy is to NOT give them more time.

The fact that its being held this week is focussing people's minds wonderfully, including those people notorious for having no rational minds whatsoever.

#8 I agree Ptah. As the F&F pressure intensifies, another reality that is coming into "focus" is the true intent of the ~~reparations~~ social justice entitlement cabal. This is not about guns, but rather power.

#9 The important thing, and yes it's political, is that the people of the United States have the right and the duty to evaluate what happened before Election Day.

#12 The CBC does help me fill in some blank spots in my Liberal Talking Points and Stature formula.

1 Black Man > 200 Mexicans (dead)

#13 Can we also hold the entire Democratic Party and the Supreme Court in contempt?
