Democrats have votes to hold two White House officials in contempt by full House vote:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) are surveying the House Democratic caucus to determine whether it will support holding White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers in contempt for ducking subpoenas in the continuing investigation into the firing of nine US attorneys.

According to Bresnahan of Politico, Conyers said the contempt motion could be brought "as early as next week," but that Pelosi had not made a final decision on the vote, saying it would be more likely in two weeks.

Democrats believe they have the votes to hold Miers and Bolten in contempt, Bresnahan says. If a criminal contempt resolution passes, it would light new fires in a White House already struggling to stave off additional controversy. The House Judiciary Committee approved a contempt resolution after both failed to show up for a July hearing, but it was not brought to the House floor for a vote.

Senior Democratic aides told the site they'd be able to round up the 218 votes needed from their caucus. They expect Republicans to stand pat on their side of the aisle. Several Democratic lawmakers purportedly said under condition of anonymity that they'd been polled on the move and all said they'd back it if it came to the floor.

Conyers told Bresnahan he'd been in discussions with White House Counsel Fred Fielding to broker a compromise without success.

The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Miers and Bolton June 13. Miers -- once tapped by President Bush to be a Supreme Court Justice -- was asked what her role was while serving in the White House; Bolton was called because he was supposed to have kept track of documents related to the mass firings.

They need to fucking MOVE on this. It's overdue.

having said that, when it does happen, if it happens, i will be so f*cking happy;

i think i will buy a round for my local chapter of Drinking Liberally.

safe bet.

just like she does on everything else.. I won't be holding my breath with respect to these two being charged!

apology, right?

and Nancy should not back down.

well never mind, dems already look weak to most people anyway.

"Appearing to do something while Running Out The Clock until 2008"

Nancy should have held this vote on the afternoon of June 13, the day that the Bush administration laughed at the Democratic majority. This vote should have beeen automatic, and scheduled for 1 minute after the subpoena deadline.
There is no gray area in this issue.
No need to "count votes" beforehand.

Nancy needed only to make it clear that ANY and ALL members of the Democratic Caucus that vote with the Republicans on this issue will receive NO Funds or Party support for their re-election in 2008. PERIOD!!!!

GET THEM. If they let them get away with this, congress will be forever castrated.
