Attorney General Eric Holder to resign
One thing that has to be said about the headline from AP; they told the truth, Holder brought all kinds of *change* to the Department of Justice. Sadly, none of it was good.
Attorney general brought change
WASHINGTON (AP) — Eric Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general and an unflinching champion of civil rights in enforcing the nation’s laws, is resigning after leading the Justice Department for six years under President Barack Obama.
The White House said Holder, the administration’s point man on the civil rights investigation into the police shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, won’t leave until a replacement is confirmed, which means he will remain in office for months. SOURCE
Funny isn’t it? The Obama White House, his entire administration, is above the law in any and all happenings at this current time but the Attorney General is called *The Point Man* in a single shooting, one that he and Barack Hussein Obama have already pronounced as being the fault of the White Officer yet Holder, and through him, Obama, are held in no way responsible for the deaths that have taken place due to Fast and Furious.
From my Congressman, Pete Sessions, regarding the resignation of Eric Holder:
“I am glad to see that Eric Holder has finally decided to resign from his position as Attorney General. During his tenure, he covered up violations of the law, politicized the enforcement of the law, and stonewalled Congressional oversight time and time again. There’s a reason why Holder was the first ever US Attorney General in history to be held in both criminal and civil contempt. While most government officials whose careers are marred with scandal wish to clear their name, Holder’s decision to resign was the correct one. I sincerely hope that whomever the President nominates to be the next Attorney General has a greater respect for the rule of law.”
Pete Sessions is a lot nicer than I am, I have no such hope that Obama will seek to replace Holder with ANYONE that has greater respect for the law, that would go against every tenet of the Obama regime. The administration of Barack Hussein Obama is going down as the most *lawless* regime in American history and to have a person as Attorney General that truly respects the rule of law would force Obama to seek a new way of doing business.
Let me say this, and I am sure to hurt more than a few feelings in saying so, but Eric Holder has been the orchestration behind this lawlessness, behind every scandal that has come across the news desks, behind every scandal that the American public is aware of.
He has been allowed to get by with his lies and cover-ups because there is no one in the Senate or Congress has the power to go after him and his partners in crime; Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner and Barack Hussein Obama, just to name a few.
Even the media knows that both Houses are cowering as this headline confirms; Holder Held in Contempt of Congress, Which Means Almost Nothing | WIRED.
Trey Gowdy and Darrell Issa have made bold speeches, asked the hard questions and demanded evidence be presented in their investigations. The legal department of the United States government, the Department of Justice, led by Eric Holder, has basically told Congress to go *screw* themselves.
The Inspector General of the Department of Justice cleared the Attorney General of any other wrongdoing with regard to Fast and Furious, stating that there was “no evidence” that Holder knew about the operation before early 2011.
Barack Hussein Obama’s administration declined to prosecute its own attorney general on the Contempt of Congress charge, citing executive privilege.
Executive privilege; that’s the only thing that I can think of that is keeping the Obama *Goon Squad* out of federal prison.
I’m going to close this post on a less than positive note; suppose Holder’s resignation, as is every other move made within the Obama regime, suppose it is a planned move designed to take Eric Holder even HIGHER into the political stratosphere?
Ponder this; one of the Supreme Court Justices suddenly becomes too ill or too mentally infirm to serve and decides to retire.
Would it be out of the realm of possibility for Obama to appoint Holder to a position on the SCOTUS?
Further, would it be possible for Harry Reid to push this through the Senate on a very *fast track* so as to accomplish the deed BEFORE the 2014 mid-terms, or failing that, to force a Holder nomination and approval through before a new Senate could be sworn in?
Attorney Generals come and Attorney Generals go, SCOTUS positions are for LIFE.
Very suspicious in light of Ginsberg’s “sudden” declaration she has no intention of retiring…..
Looks like you have the same train of thought as I: SCOTUS. I’m praying that Republicans take the Senate and if they don’t, pray that none of the justices retire or something befalls one.
Another winner! Nothing good can come of Holder’s resignation because nothing much good occurred during it. He and Obama have worked together to achieve the most lawless administration in the history of the nation.
And another possibility, if Ginsberg doesn’t retire or die… An accidental or “Natural Causes” wink wink of one of the more conservative judges wouldn’t be out of the realm. If I were one of the conservative judges, I’d get a taste tester, a car starter and I’d stay away from private planes.. Just sayin.
I posted this on Facebook about 40 minutes before you made this comment, we’re thinking alike again…
I would have to agree, Ginsburg is the most elderly and sickly of the bunch but for her to go and be replaced by Holder is no real big deal, you’re trading Libber for Libber, it’s a wash… The BIG concern is the sudden demise of a Conservative or swing vote Justice…. Not accusing the Obama crowd of anything but I damned sure wouldn’t put it past them to *create* a place for Holder to land…
I fear on Holder’s departure we will be saddled with a worse Attorney General, one who is more racist and biased toward minorities, particularly blacks. I’m not a racist, I do see reverse discrimination rampant. Is it justice to inflict what you see as wrongs on others in the name of equality, or is it a better, more civilized avenue to pursue eradicating the wrongs and making sure no one is treated unfairly, and holding people doing wrongs responsible for their own actions. For too long there have been organizers in minority communities that publicly state they want equality and fairness, an equal chance for all to succeed, but on the backside fight for a step or two up because of race, demanding raparations and the like because in some form they have been slighted.
What does this mean in Holder’s case? We have a Justice Department and a POTUS who have exhibited very racist views and actions, usually on behalf of the black community toward the white community, even riling up the latin community. Dr. Martin Luther King worked very hard to get rid of this ugliness, but there are the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons that make too much money stirring this pot again and again. How has Holder and Obama not been held liable for their actions? I believe the bottom line is because they are black, and instead of doing what is right by the law, working towards racism being gone, and doing things to carry our great country forward with respect, they both seem to have taken the stand that they “got one over on whitey”.
The ________ C0mmunity.(fill in the blank). Am I the only one to pick up on this? I think not. I see this as a direct assault on American citizens. Anyone who says they are an AMERICAN looks beyond skin color or political affiliation. I see the the people who practice the ideaology of islam and those who call themselves progressives as true enemies of our REPUBLIC (we are NOT a democracy). E. Holder is just one of many who are out to fundamentally change America and subvert the CONSTITUTION. The scary truth is are they capable of physically eliminating the opposition?
Which leads us back to the need to refresh the tree of liberty.
