By a 23-17 vote, the House Oversight Committee, headed by Rep. Darrell Issa, has voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for not releasing documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal. "Oversight Committee vote was precisely along party lines: all Republicans vote for contempt citation, all Demorats voted against," CBS's Mark Knoller reports.
