Yeah, that sums it up:
(CBS/AP) The Senate Judiciary Committee voted for a contempt citation against presidential confidants Karl Rove and Josh Bolten on Thursday, the latest move in an inquiry into possibly politically motivated firings of U.S. prosecutors.
The 12-7 vote sent the citation against the two to the full Senate, but it was not certain to advance further.




Why was it “not certain to advance further”?
Are the Demmies afraid of a filibuster?
