Black Lawmakers Plot
'Walkout Strategy' During Holder Contempt Vote
The Congressional Black Caucus has called a members-only
"emergency" meeting on Thursday to plot a "walkout
strategy" ahead of the scheduled contempt vote of Attorney General Eric
Holder later in the day.
The plans, detailed in an email from the executive
director of the Congressional Black Caucus obtained by the Alley, include
circulating a letter disapproving of the vote and having lawmakers walk out of
the Capitol to hold a press conference during the roll call.
The letter, a draft of which is being circulated for
signatures, accuses the GOP leadership of "rushing recklessly to a
contempt vote." The letter is being circulated among the Black, Hispanic,
Asian and Progressive caucuses, among other. . . . . . (link)
Editor’s note: never mind the fact that this has been going
on for 18 month and the subpoena order was eight months ago (October of
2011). Understand that the Holder
supporters argue that Congress should be worried about jobs, not this persecution. What they want you to forget is the fact that
this particular House committee is not a jobs committee. Its
function is embedded in its title: the
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Issa and this committee is doing exactly what
it has been commission to do. In
fact, this committee has existed in some
form since 1816.
Again, this committee is doing its job, Elijah Cummings racist opinions to the
contrary.
Can you believe that of all the well
qualified black candidates (in either party) running around, we had to go elect an imperialist wannabe
dictator and his anti-capitalist minions? Wow.
