A delay in the much anticipated vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee to find White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former Bush political guru Karl Rove in contempt. The Hill [1] reports:
Specter, the panel’s ranking member, indicated he had asked Leahy to put off the vote on behalf of himself and other committee Republicans. “There is considerable concern on my side about the structure of the citation,” Specter said Thursday. “It would be my hope that we could negotiate some intervening language.”
Republicans, he said, believed the resolution’s language goes too far in its assertions about what was uncovered by the Democratic-led investigation into whether politics played a role in the Justice Department firings of several U.S. attorneys late last year.
