Todays votes :
The vote was 232-196
No Republicans voted yea.
There were 2 Democratic noes.
Compare that to a fair/bipartisan process :
In November 1973, the House voted to fund the investigation into President Richard Nixon on a bipartisan 367-51 vote. By February 1974, everyone was so convinced that Rodino was being fair and nonpartisan that the resolution to conduct a formal investigation passed 410-4.
September 1998, the House voted to release the Starr report by 363-63 (nine failed to vote). Among Democrats, 138 voted to proceed in a fair way, and only 63 voted against investigating President Clinton.In 1998 a Republican controlled house carried House Democrats by better than 2:1 to investigate President Clinton.
