Eric Holder

[BigUnionGuy]

"After Lee was done questioning Holder, he proceeded to lecture the attorney general on the importance of ensuring no one person in government is allowed to accumulate too much power."

What did you gather from this video??

Holder answers the questions, Mike Lee makes NO headway into anything he asked about, and Mike Lee simply stating that no one person should have too much power is lame at best.

Obama has made less executive orders than other presidents, and mike lee wants to split hairs and talk about the kinds of executive orders vs quantity.

It was GW BUSH who created the patriot act and everything that followed. It was BUSH that collected LARGER levels of metadata on american citizens with the republicans blessing, but NOW all of a sudden, its the republicans who want to complain about the collection process??

Give us a break.

President Obama will use the executive priviledge effectively to prevent the republicans from running this country into the ground further than they already have.

Lame video.

TOS.

Holder Complains to Civil Rights Activists About Congress's Treatment of Him

 

[moreluck]

Holder thinks it's racism the way he's treated.

He asked, what other A.G's have been treated the way he has? Gee, what other A.G's have been questionable in their behavior and by questionable I mean criminal-like.

It's not his color, it's his character that is in question. He's sleazy......IMO.
Withholding info and/or lying is sleazy to me.

John Mitchell, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, Roberto Gonzales, Michael Mukasey. To name a few.

Two federal judges on the U.S. Sentencing Commission said Thursday that
Attorney General Eric Holder stepped "outside the legal system" and exceeded the authority of the executive branch by sending "improper instruction" to federal prosecutors to reduce drug sentences before they were officially approved by either the commission or Congress.

Did they claim racism????? No, it's business as usual. They are all crooked and their color has nothing to do with it.....my point!!


So instead of Holder saying yes, I'm corrupt, he says yes, I'm black.

 

[bogeyball]

Don't forget the audience he so eloquently whined to.

Jobs & economy are important issues, but Holder has seen fit to draw all attention to his race (insecurity) issues and with the preezy visiting Sharpton's camp attention of the media is pulled off really important issues and the media s covering race stuff............because Sharpton is an important figure....NOT !!

You are aware that the U.S. Sentencing Commission decided to retroactively reduce drug sentences? You are also aware, I'm sure, that this was about differentiating between crack & powder cocaine?

All Holder did was avoid costly retrials and use common sense.

No, Holder broke the law. The US Sentencing Commission is allowed to change guidelines. That is their job. Whether it results in retrials is no concern of Holders. His job is to enforce the law, not interpret it.

Why in the world would white guys(apart from Gonzales) claim racism?

On the other hand, Louie Gohmert is not only nuts, but also a well known racist.
