The House voted this afternoon to cite Eric Holder for contempt of Congress. The vote was 255 to 67 with 17 Democrats joining all the Republicans to vote in favor of the resolution. In typical fashion, many of the Democrats walked out of the chamber when it was clear that they could not get their way. Why act like adults when pretending to be adolescents is so much more fun.
I hope that the House uses this vote to get the entire matter heard quickly by the courts. The judge will be able quickly to review the documents in question and determine whether or not president Obama's assertion of Executive privilege is actually as vapid a move as it seems to be. The truth is that Holder ought to resign. If not, Obama ought to fire him. There are enough distractions for the government at this point. They do not need to add Holder's political coverup to the pile.
