House votes to hold Barr, Ross in criminal contempt over census dispute

Interesting...I did not know there is a criminal contempt and a civil contempt. Do you use an actual term or is this more like an analogy you try to make?

Your favorite network, Fox, calls it 'criminal contempt'. Eric Holder's refusal was called 'civil contempt'. Yes they are different. I have an idea that this is criminal contempt because both of them lied in their testimony to Congress.

The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to hold Attorney General Bill Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in criminal contempt, saying they were stonewalling congressional probes into the Trump administration's efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. https://fxn.ws/2JE6ClR #FoxNews

I didn't know that either, but there actually is. The difference in short is that in a civil contempt the case is then taken to a court. In a criminal contempt, the House becomes the judge, jury and executioner.
