Looks like its on to the Senate for a vote.... http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/bw-wh/2007/dec/13/121304100.html
excerpt:

WASHINGTON (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 federal prosecutors.

The 12-7 vote sent the citation against the two to the full Senate, but it was not certain to advance further.
