House Voting Now On Contempt For Miers and Bolten

This is happening right now, live. I believe that Pelosi scheduled this now to lessen the public outrage when the “blue dog” Democrats cave and allow retroactive immunity to telecommunications corporations for illegal, unconstitutional domestic spying. However, I hope that the contempt resolutions pass. The GOP members have walked out of the House and are standing on the Capitol steps in protest, and there are all sorts of disruptions.

UPDATE: Florida GOP Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart pulled a procedural trick during Tom Lantos’ memorial service as an attempt to block or delay the contempt vote. This is how the House GOP conducts themselves when a Democratic colleague and Holocaust survivor dies.
