Contempt? How About Contemptible.

So the House found Attorney General Holder in contempt last week. My biggest problem with this is that it was so political. I agree that there were problems with the Fast and Furious program, but I think that the Republicans wanted to make an election year point and that this resolution was actually unnecessary. My reasoning? All but 17 democrats walked out of the proceeding, and I think all but maybe a handful of Republicans voted for it. In addition, the NRA pressed really hard for the contempt resolution, and even leaned on members of Congress who want to stay in the NRA's good graces. I'm sorry, but since when was a lobbying group allowed to push for a member of the President's cabinet to be held in contempt? That is just such bs. I already have issues with lobbying groups, but this is just insane. And its sad that this issue has taken so much time from other work that Congress could be doing before going on their ridiculous summer break. Sigh.
