The Plame Game - update

The resolution inquiry sought by Representative Rush Holt was defeated by the House International Relations Committee - precisely along party lines.

I don't understand the workings of these committees - I would have thought the defeat in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence would have been the end of it. And I wasn't even aware it was in the Judiciary Committee.

Two other committees in the House -- Intelligence and Judiciary -- have likewise voted to sidetrack the resolution sponsored by Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J. The Judiciary Committee on Wednesday voted 17-8 to report the measure adversely, as did the Intelligence Committee by a 10-3 margin when it met Jan. 28. The House Armed Services Committee plans to take up the measure on Wednesday, with the panel's Republican majority assuring the same outcome.


I guess they can play this game until they run out of committees. Your tax dollars at work.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
