House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she will boycott the vote to find Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.
“I urge my colleagues to do what they want as far as walking off. I, myself, had said I was coming to this floor to vote against this resolution. I thought it was so wrong that there was no question to take the opportunity to vote no. But listening to the debate, almost unbelievable, not that what they’re saying is believable but unbelievable that they would say it,” Pelosi said.

I would have voted no. The NRA has been turned into a tool of the right, not a tool for rights support.
