10. I don't think so - they voted that she was in contempt (I think - I was distracted)
I'm not sure what happens next.

18. I'm pretty sure they authorized issuing a subpoena. There was a quick voice vote
and the chair said it was passed.

29. I believe that was for the RNC....
however ^up thread, stated cspan said auth. for her placed in contempt was approved.... (sure it wrong language I'm using, but the crux of it), and then I guess a warrant is next if Judicial Committee approves. If I'm mistaken, I'd love to get it straight.. its very confusing

Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 10:39 AM by Moochy

35. As far as it goes with Miers.....
Sanchez said they have 5 days to consider what's to be done next - I don't know what I'll do if an arrest warrant isn't issued.

41. the powder must be
dried, I hear there were a few moisture droplets from Cannon's sweaty jowls that got onto the powder. Give 'em five days to dry out the powder and give it another go?

46. if one isn't issued because she still refuses to show..
I give up.

I go home. I stop listening or supporting our the Democratic party and I start voting third party.

I give them 5 days to prove to me that they have a spine, but what I fear will happen will be more rhetoric, more bizarre justifications, more bluster, more pomp, more bullshit, more shuffling of the feet, more taking vacations, concerned expressions, more feigned disgust, more vasselations...

45. House Committe Rules from last congress
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 11:17 AM by Moochy
http://www.rules.house.gov/109/text/rulesofcomm/109_rulescomm.pdf


(N) Contempt Procedures.—No recommendation that a person be
cited for contempt of Congress shall be forwarded to the House unless
and until the Committee has, upon notice to all its Members,
met and considered the alleged contempt. The person to be cited for
contempt shall be afforded, upon notice of at least 72 hours, an opportunity
to state why he or she should not be held in contempt,
prior to a vote of all the Committee, a quorum being present, on

the question whether to forward such recommendation to the
House. Such statement shall be, in the discretion of the Chairman,
either in writing or in person before the Committee.
