When they said full vote, did they mean that all of congress has to agree with it? If that is the case, he won't be brought up on anything.

Full vote of the House only. As of now, only the Oversight Committee has voted to find Holder in contempt.

o.k. I am still confused. When they say full vote, what do they mean? Does it mean the whole house to vote Yeah? Or is it just all the Republicans in the house who have to vote for it?

Majority vote in the House only is my understanding.  Both parties get to vote on it.

O.k. That makes more sense. When they say full, it makes me think that the whole house has to vote for it.

the entire House. And since the entire House has a Republican majority, chances are pretty damned good that Holder will be found in contempt, even if Dems and Repubs vote party line, with a few who jump the fence.

It seems they have the votes -- all of that has already been vetted, I'm sure.

The whole House gets to vote on it, but it doesn't have to a unanimous ruling.  Just a simple majority IIRC.

Quote
Pelosi: “I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is playing politics with its vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, an action she said that even she didn’t seek as House Speaker when she thought someone was legitimately deserving of it.

“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day,” Pelosi said to laughter, during a sit-down with reporters. “I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol … If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him.”

Asked on what grounds she could have arrested Rove, Pelosi replied, “Oh, any number. But there were some specific ones for his being in contempt of Congress. But we didn’t.”

Maybe, but with this deft stroke by the master of fourth dimensional chess (Hussein) the maggot infested corpse is hanging in the public square & the LSM has to cover it. Remember the famous words to Paul Ryan (I think it was Ryan) "DON'T CALL MY BLUFF"

To say nothing of the Pardon he's reserved for himself.

Was she or has she ever been on a rocker?

Wonder if she's drunk up that $100,000.00 worth of liquor she got at our expense while she was speacker lush of the house.

And unelected to the job which he got when Sprio Agnew resigned.  Those were interesting times.  Could it happen again?  President O'Biden?   :panic:

The only way Obama would get pardoned is if Biden would happen to get elected, or if Obama quits and leaves Biden as President, neither of which will ever happen.

No one expected Agnew to resign and Ford to be appointed by Nixon either.   But, when the wheels start to come off the wagon it can happen fast.

Hope springs eternal.  Obie has so many lies out there you just never know the DUmmies think he is a 3D chess master but I am not so sure.  Dr Spock he's not.

And even most democrats that can think rationally about it believe it was the right thing to do at the time.

It won't go to the Senate.  According to what I've been hearing on Hannity, after Holder is charged with contempt of Congress, it goes straight to the 4th (DC) Circuit.  It gets tried under a real federal judge, not Whorehouse Harry Reid and his clowns.

The 4th Circuit and the DC Circuit are two different Circuits, IIRC.  The DC Circuit is where Chief Justice John Roberts was before he was elevated to the SCOTUS.  4th Circuit is based in Richmond VA.
