US Attorney General Eric Holder needs a time out.
Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday defended the prosecution of terrorism suspects in civilian court after the top-ranking Senate Republican urged him to send two Iraqis to Guantanamo Bay rather than try them in Kentucky.
Holder criticized what he called a “rigid ideology” among political opponents working to prevent terror trials that have been successfully handled by civilian courts hundreds of times.
The only “rigid ideology” I see on display is that of Mr. Nation of Cowards, and it’s an ideology that keeps elevating non-citizens’ rights on par with or above those of US citizens. The head of the Justice Department that dropped the Black Panther case continued.
“Politics has no place — no place — in the impartial and effective administration of justice,” Holder said in remarks prepared for delivery to the American Constitution Society’s convention. “Decisions about how, where, and when to prosecute must be made by prosecutors, not politicians.”
I agree, and considering the fact that Holder’s Justice Department has become a politicized slice of the executive branch, its top politician ought to resign.
“Politics has no place — no place — in the impartial and effective administration of justice,” Holder said
Oh, Fast and Furious was the ‘impartial and effective administration of justice’, no political motives involved. Silly me I thought……..never mind.
Note of interest – Several days ago I went to the dailybeast to get their take on Operation Fast and Furious. Surprisingly their article was highly critical of Eric Holder and the DOJ. Even more surprising were the readers comments. They were even more critical, perhaps with the exception of one or two. Many agreed that it obviously an attempt to pad the numbers of american guns possessed by the cartels. I attempted to leave a comment as well….so I registered and posted one only to get a notice that all first time posters would be reviewed and that it could take several days to appear.
A few moments ago I checked to see if it had been posted and discovered that not only had it not, but that all of the comments ( 50 or so ) critical of Holder and the DOJ had been wiped.
