Holder and Charlie Rangel

Within the past few years, I am absolutely positive in  declaring  my most disturbing moments in politics were when members of the House, both Democrats and Republicans, censured Congressman  Rangel for ethics violations.

House censures Rep. Charles Rangel in 333-79 vote
By Paul Kane and David A. Fahrenthold
Excerpt:
Despite a concerted effort by supporters to downgrade Rangel's punishment to a reprimand, the House voted 333 to 79 for censure.

And
With 170 Democrats joining all but two Republicans, the chamber approved the condemnation for 11 rules infractions that included 17 years of unpaid taxes on property in the Dominican Republic, more than $500,000 in undisclosed financial assets and inappropriately raising millions of dollars for a New York City college from corporations with business before the Ways and Means Committee.

I am bracing myself for a similar voting pattern when the full House votes to hold *Sec. Eric Holder in Contempt Of Congress. In cases like this, Democrats, to their detriment,  pride themselves for not being a monolith. I am mindful of The Cheese in the popular nursery rhyme “The farmer in the dell” when at the end of the day,  a Black man in America still stands alone and abandoned  many times by members of his own party. Sad. (Whisper: I won't mention the votes on the laws for cocaine and marijuana violations or that little thingy called Three Strikes and you're out)

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
