Can someone fill me in? What is happening with the contempt charges?
Has this issue vanished like a fart in the wind? Much like all issues of accountability with this Congress? Haven't heard a peep about this lately. Is Nancy blocking things and making everyone "play nice"? Why haven't Miers and Bolton been arrested? For the same reasons Chimp and Cheney haven't been arrested?

1. I was going to ask, 'which ones', but you said Miers and Bolton.
I have no idea what comes next. Actually I'm embarassed to say I've lost track of where they are in the process. Has the full house voted on issuing the subpoenas yet? That comes after the Committee approves them, which I do recall has happened.

2. I believe they just had a 2 week recess
maybe if they'd stay in Washington they could deal with some issues.

4. So its passed the full house vote?
I just can't remember it passing the full house vote, or am I immagining that one was necessary? I really do not remember.

5. Rove, Miers, and Bolton are officially "contemptuous" persons!

6. Amazed you don't remember the Republicans little staged walk out
It passed something like 235-25 or some similar number. It now has to be initiated by the Just Us Dept and they have already said they won't follow through on it..
